CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
How was your Holiday break? Ours was so busy and fun that it went by so fast! It’s hard to believe that the Holidays have come and gone just like that and we are already back to the grind of school and schedules. It’s a busy stage of life right now for my family and having quick and easy dinner recipes is really important to us. These White Chicken Enchiladas Recipe are one of our very favorite dinner recipes.
CHICKEN ENCHILADAS RECIPE
I love gathering the family to eat around the dinner table every night, even though sometimes weeknights are super crazy. It’s really important for us as a family to try and eat together every night. So we rely on dinner recipes that are quick and easy…while at the same time delicious for the whole family. This Chicken Enchiladas Recipe is one that my kids beg for on a monthly basis!
WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
These White Chicken Enchiladas are a family favorite. They whip up pretty quickly and are a welcome site for everyone in the family. They also make great leftovers…if you are lucky enough to have any left over.
We will sometimes make a double batch of these and then freeze the extra pan before baking it. Then we can pull it out and let it thaw for an hour before throwing it into the oven. It takes about 15 minutes longer to bake when we do this and they taste just as delicious!

Made this tonight for the first time and we loved it! So much better than using cream of chicken soup. Thank you for a delicious meal!
You are welcome! I agree…don’t love using cream of chicken soup either!
Camille- So happy you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks!
I think I would like this but not sure about my hubby. Does it have a strong sour cream flavor?
Lori- It really doesnt. You should try making it.
I have made these several times. They are so delicious we can’t get enough of them.
So glad to hear that! Thanks for letting us know!
I made mine with corn tortillas, bell
Pepper instead of green chilis. (Flour tortillas get soggy if you put them in any kind of liquid.) My white enchiladas were a hit the way I made them. I’ve made them 3 or 4 times, delicious!
Yolanda- Sounds delicious!
Do you know the serving size and calorie count for this. I have made it before and we love it but I am trying to track the nutritional info. Thank you!
Heather- at the bottom of the recipe it should show that info. Thank you!
I’m sad to say this recipe got two thumbs down from everyone in my family. Followed the recipe to a T, and there was way too much sauce and they were just so bland. I guess I should have known, seeing as there are literally no seasonings in the meat or the sauce. Glad others have enjoyed them. We won’t be making them again.
So sorry to hear this. This recipe is a family favorite in our home.
Would this taste as good if substituted with ground turkey or beef?
Kelly, I think if it was shredded, I wouldn’t even know a difference. That sounds yummy!
I loved idea using white meat. We made this dish last night, and it was amazing.
Ivory- So happy you enjoyed it. It really is so good.
Wow! These chicken enchiladas look amazing! I love how simple they can be prepared! Thank you for sharinG!
Journa- Thank you. They really are SO simple to make!
Wow, these are so good!! I am adding this to our Mexican food rotation for sure! My kids asked for seconds & that rarely happens!
Natalie-That is so great. My kids love this recipe too!
My family prefers these over red enchiladas! They are super cheesy & loaded with everything my kids will eat!
Kristyn- My kids do too! They love when I make these.
We love, love, love this recipe! We add frozen corn to the meat mixture and a little of the sauce. I found it online years ago but is almost the exact same recipe. I’m always bummed when you go to Mexican restaurants and all they offer is red sauce enchiladas… this is much better!!
Joann- I love that you add corn to the mixture. That sounds yummy! I prefer this white sauce as well. Glad you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
