Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Description
Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas start by simmering boneless, skinless chicken breasts in red enchilada sauce with garlic until fully cooked and infused with flavor. The chicken is shredded and mixed with sour cream along with seasoning of salt and pepper to create a moist, creamy filling.
The filling is spooned into large flour tortillas, rolled up, and arranged in a baking dish. The remaining enchilada sauce is poured over the rolled tortillas, and a layer of shredded cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top. Baking melts the cheese and warms the dish through, resulting in tender enchiladas with rich sauce and creamy cheese.
This comforting casserole can be served as a main course with simple sides like rice or a green salad. The balance of sour cream tang, enchilada sauce spices, and mild cheddar offers a satisfying and familiar flavor profile.
