I have never made Chicken Enchiladas, however, I had them recently and really enjoyed them. Does someone have an easy recipe they would be willing to share?
 
Not mine, I googled it.

2 cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey

1 medium green pepper, chopped

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed

1/2 cup TACO BELL HOME ORIGINALS Thick 'N Chunky Salsa, divided

8 TACO BELL HOME ORIGINALS Flour Tortillas

1/4 lb. (4 oz.) VELVEETA Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, cut up

1 Tbsp. milk


PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Mix chicken, green pepper, cream cheese and 1/4 cup of the salsa in medium saucepan; cook on low heat until cream cheese is melted, stirring occasionally.

SPOON 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place, seam sides down, in lightly greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Place VELVEETA and milk in small saucepan; cook on low heat until VELVEETA is completely melted, stirring frequently. Pour over enchiladas; cover with foil.

BAKE 20 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining 1/4 cup salsa.
 
Thanks for you effort, Pooh67_68. I tried the same thing and got a ton of choices. I guess what I am looking for is someone who has a recipe that they have tried, really liked and is easy to make. :)
 
I have one that I have only made once but my neighbor makes it all the time and its great.

1 or 2 chicken breasts -- boiled and shreaded
half and half
salsa
tortilas
enchalada sauce in the can
grated cheese

after the chicken is shreaded you a some half and half and salsa to it and mix it up real good. I put a good bit but you dont want it real juicey. I dip the tortilas in the sauce then roll the chicken in it. Top it with the rest of the sauce and cheese. Bake on 350 for 30 micutes.

Enjoy

Did they have a green sauce or a red sauce? That will tell me which recipe to give you :teeth:
 
Mine is a super easy and for the very lazy! There's no exact measurements, kind of just throw it all in and adjust according to taste. :thumbsup2

Corn tortillas, chicken in a can, cream of celery, cream of chicken, small cheese whiz (or 1/2 of the big jar), shredded cheeze in a bag, sour cream.

Mix soups, chicken and cheese whiz in bowl. Take an 8X13 pan, spray with Pam, layer bottom with corn torillas, spread layer of mix over them, then coat with layer of shredded cheese. Keep repeating those layers until you fill up the pan. Coat the top with lots of shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake on 350 for about 20 minutes - with my moody oven, sometimes it takes longer. When done and serving, top with sour cream.

For those ambitious people, you can use real chicken - pan fry it and cut it up into small pieces first.
I promise it really is better than it sounds!!!

I got my recipe from one of DD's friend's Moms...

Skinless Boneless chicken breasts in crockpot with one pkg taco seasoning mix & 1 jar of salsa
cook all day
shred chicken (it should shred easily after cooking all day)
put some chicken & some grated cheddar in a soft taco shell....roll up & place in baking dish, repeat until you've filled the dish.
pour a can of enchilada sauce over the top,add more grated cheese & bake until cheese metls.
It's DD's favorite meal......we're having it tomorrow.
