Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 3 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 8–10 tortillas
- 1 can of cream chicken soup
- 1 can of Rotel
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 1 8 ounces (226 grams) container of sour cream
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk
- 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning
- Handful of shredded cheese
Aromatics:
- 0.5 onion, chopped
Instructions
- Craft a velvety sauce by combining condensed cream of chicken soup, full-fat sour cream, and whole milk in a mixing bowl, whisking until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Assess the sauce consistency, and if needed, incorporate chicken broth to achieve a more fluid, pourable consistency.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), preparing a cooking environment for the enchiladas.
- In a large skillet, sauté finely diced onions until translucent and softened, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Introduce shredded chicken to the skillet, complementing with zesty taco seasoning, diced Rotel tomatoes, and a portion of cream of chicken soup, simmering the mixture on medium-high heat until thoroughly combined and heated.
- Gently warm tortillas in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds, rendering them pliable and easier to manipulate.
- Distribute the savory chicken mixture evenly across each tortilla, carefully rolling them into compact cylindrical shapes.
- Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a 9×13 inch (23×33 centimeter) baking dish, ensuring a snug fit.
- Lavishly drape the prepared sour cream sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheese across the top, creating a melty, golden blanket.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is perfectly melted and slightly bubbling.
