FAMILY FAVORITE CHICKEN SOUR CREAM ENCHILADAS (CASSEROLE)



Family Favorite Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas (Casserole) image

I've had this enchilada recipe for ages, it was passed down to me from my mother and is always a popular dish around my house. My husbands favorite casserole! :) Hope you enjoy as much as we do. A few notes: Sometimes I leave off the 2 cups of shredded chicken, and it is still yummy as can be. I usually double the green chiles and use "healthy request" soup and reduced fat sour cream. Also, we prefer corn tortillas in this dish, but use whatever you like. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will give your enchilada casserole a more complex flavor. You can use a blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco, or experiment with different types of cheeses to find your favorite combination.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it rest before shredding it.
  • Use a creamy sour cream sauce: A creamy sour cream sauce will help to keep your enchilada casserole moist and flavorful. Make sure to use a full-fat sour cream for the best results.
  • Assemble the casserole carefully: Layer the ingredients in the casserole dish carefully to prevent them from becoming mixed together. Start with a layer of tortillas, then add the chicken, sauce, and cheese. Repeat the layers until you have used up all of the ingredients.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will take about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the casserole while it is baking to make sure that it does not overcook.

Conclusion:

Chicken sour cream enchilada casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. The combination of creamy sour cream sauce, tender chicken, and melted cheese is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this casserole is a great option for busy weeknights or potluck dinners.
