Perfect Chicken Enchiladas image

I've tried several different chicken enchilada recipes here but they all were lacking in one area or another. After many attempts I finally took the best parts of each and came up with the best recipe yet. NOTE- these come out very firm because I let most of the enchilada sauce evaporate when cooking when the chicken. If you want them gooey, don't let it cook too long.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, drained & chopped

1 cup sour cream
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped
1/4 chicken broth

1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 tortillas (preferably flour)

Steps:

  • Heat 2tbsp oil in a large skillet. Saute onions, garlic, green chilles, and mushrooms for 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add chicken and can of enchilada sauce. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes. Again, the consistency of the dish depends on how long you let the sauce thicken/evaporate.
  • Mix in all of the spices (more or less, depending on your taste). Blend in the sour cream and the cream of chicken until fully mixed. Remove from heat.
  • Spoon mixture evenly into tortillas and roll them up. Place them seam-side down in an oil-coated 13x9-inch pan. Pour leftover mixture evenly over the enchiladas.
