Favorite Chicken Enchiladas

This is my first attempt at sharing a recipe and instructions with you!  This is a recipe that I came up with several years ago.  It was pretty much a combination of two other chicken enchilada recipes.  It also happens to be one of my husbands favorite meals (and mine too!)

Ingredients
4 or 5 chicken breasts, cooked (about 2 lbs.)
taco seasoning, 1 pkg.
small can green chiles
2 T butter
3 T flour
2 cup chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 can red enchilada sauce
8 oz. shredded cheese
tortilla shells

Directions
I cook the chicken one of two ways.  Sometimes I dice it raw, then cook in skillet and add taco seasoning.  Sometimes I cook the breasts whole, then cool and shred and put back in skillet with taco seasoning.  Next I make a white sauce with the butter, flour, and broth.  Once thickened, I add the can of green chiles and cup of sour cream. Next I fill the tortilla with the seasoned chicken and a spoonful of sauce.
Roll them up and lay them in the pan. Pour remainder of the sauce over the top and then pour can of red enchilada sauce over it.  Cover with shredded cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly.  About 20-30 minutes.
Enjoy the pan of enchiladas with your family!  Homemade salsa and chips go along with this great!

Hi Jenny! Thanks for leaving a comment about the blueberry muffins recipe. :) It's always fun to know who's out there reading our posts and trying out our muffin recipes! We're loving our new muffin pans and encourage you to put them on your wish list. FYI: Amazon has the best prices on SS bake ware.

I make a similar enchilada recipe and appreciate that you make your own white sauce rather than using canned cream soup as it's so much better for you (and I think it tastes better, too).

Blessings to you and yours! ~Lisa

I'm going to have to try those enchiladas out soon. They sound delish! :-)

We just had some last night that my dd Ashley (18) made and they were really good! She made them with a creamy white sauce.

I'd like to try the red sauce this next time.
