White Chicken Enchiladas
1. This recipe calls for diced green chilies. Don’t let that fool you, these are NOT spicy in the least. My 3 year old and 1 year old love them.
2. If you would like, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream in the recipe. It is a 1 for 1 substitute.
3. If you cook your chicken first (rather than using a rotisserie chicken), you may wan to add some spices to give it extra flavor. I like the chicken to have good flavor. I tend to cook my chicken in the crock pot with some ground cumin, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
4. You can make this ahead and keep it in the fridge up to 24 hours. Just put it in the oven and increase the time a bit. You will want to make sure they are heated through.
5. This sauce does not freeze well. Then enchiladas themselves freeze really well. I freeze a few pans of them double wrapped in foil and then I just make the sauce the day of. Thaw them first, add the sauce, cook according to original instructions.
6. Yes, your friends and family will like their plate and ask for you to bring them to every gathering from here on out.

Great recepies
Pinterest won’t let the recipe to be pinned. 🙁 They say they blocked it because it may lead to inappropriate content… Maybe because you dxon’t have one of their buttons? smh
I make a dish quite like this one. I use shredded pepper cheese mixed with cream of chicken soup and/or cream of mushroom soup. I usually just cut up some chicken breasts in small pieces and brown them in about 2 TBSPs of butter, then add the soups, cheese and finally the sour cream. Never had a problem with curdling. Roll some of the soup mix up in a shell, then pour remaining soup mix on top and sprinkle with some remaining pepper cheese and some shredded cheddar if I have it. A little messy but worth it.
