Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9×13 baking dish by greasing or spraying lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, 3/4 cup cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, onion and green chiles. Mix well. * Use pre-cooked chicken or take 1 lb chicken, boil for 20 min. until cooked through. Cool then shred. Can be done in advance.
  3. Place approximately 1/2 cup of the filling across the bottom of a tortilla and roll securely. Place in baking dish, seam side down. Repeat until pan is full. Don’t worry if there’s a little leftover filling.
  4. Spread remaining filling over the top of the rolled enchiladas in the pan.
  5. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over the top. (Reserve a handful of cheese to warm in your beans if desired.)
  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until cheese on top is melted and edges begin to brown.
  7. Remove from oven & let rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
For Vegetarian Enchiladas
  1. Substitute spinach & mushrooms for the chicken.
  2. Substitute sour cream, salt & pepper for the cream of chicken soup. Add any additional seasonings as desired (garlic, herbs, etc.).
  3. Mix and roll and bake as for Chicken Enchiladas, but use a little more filling since the vegetables will shrink while cooking.
Recipe Notes

Ingredients as listed will make a full pan of enchiladas – either chicken or vegetarian. If you would like to combine both versions into one pan, just use half the chicken and half the vegetables. Split the rest of the ingredients into two bowls, prepare as usual and bake them together. Spreading the leftover filling on top will help you identify which ones contain chicken and which ones contain the veggie version.
