Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas in Green Sauce image

I make this or a version of this every single week-so easy! Sometimes I make them with all cheese, sometime with ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning and use a can of red sauce instead of green. The possibilities are endless!!!!!

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 chicken thighs or 2 chicken breasts-seasoned and roasted in oven, then shredded
1 large can green enchilada sauce
6 large la tortilla low carb corn tortillas or substitute regular large corn tortillas
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large skillet on medium low heat, add enchilada sauce and warm.
  • 2. Dip a tortilla into sauce and shake off and place in prepared baking dish. Add a heaping amount of shredded cooked chicken and sprinkle with about 1 Tablespoon or so of shredded cheese. Roll and place seamside down in pan. Continue with the other 5 tortillas, using all of the chicken but reserving some cheese for top.
  • 3. Pour the remaining sauce over top of enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. That's it! Bake for appx. 30 minutes until bubbly and hot. Serve with a big heaping spoonful of sour cream and sliced avocado, if desired. Makes 6 very large enchiladas. I eat one; my husband eats 2; some may eat 3. May serve 2, 3, 4 or 6!
  • 4. *Note - To make this very easy, you can substitute shredded rotissiere chicken. *2nd Note - Sometimes I add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce to make it a little creamier.
