Lots of filled creamy chicken in a flour tortilla. This was good but next time I will leave out the mushroom soup and use corn tortillas.
My husband is a chef, but I am the household cook. Together, we collaborated and have over the last 5 years developed this recipe into our favorite. Chicken enchiladas have always been a favorite of both of ours, but this tops them all.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place chicken breasts in a crock pot and add 2 cups of the green enchilada sauce and as much water as needed to just cover the chicken. Set on high and cook for about 2 hours, or on low for about 4-5 hours. Remove chicken from crock pot and shred. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add 1 cup green sauce, cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of green chiles, 1 cup shredded cheese, cayenne pepper, and sour cream. Mix together thoroughly.
Spoon a small amount of the creamy mix into the bottom of two 9×13 pans and spread evenly. Add the chicken to the remaining creamy mix and spoon about 1/2 cup worth into one tortilla at a time. Roll each tortilla and place seam-side down in the pan. There should be 6 enchiladas per pan. If some tortilla ends hang out, just tuck them into the pan. If you get halfway through and find that you need more filling, just add some more soup, sour cream, or green sauce, or a combination of these.
When pans are filled, spread remaining 2 cups of green sauce (1 cup per pan) on top of enchiladas. Then take 1 can of diced green chiles per pan and sprinkle on top. Cover and bake for about 30 minutes. Uncover and add remaining cheese for the last 10 minutes of baking. Remove when cheese is nicely browned and bubbly.

DELICIOUS! The creamy chicken mixture is sooo good, I’m going to use it for Tostadas on Thursday, it would make a great dip as well! Thank you for the AWESOME recipe!

Sorry csmdsailor–I don’t get on here as often as I should. To answer your question, I usually use a homemade tomatillo sauce that my husband makes. I haven’t made it myself yet, so I can’t give you the recipe. However, I have used the canned sauce at times in the past and it turns out well, too. I will try to post a tomatillo sauce recipe sometime soon. Good luck!

This looks awesome, but I have a question. Do you make or buy your green enchilada sauce?
