Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Do you love easy, delicious, one-dish meals as I do? This Creamy Chicken Enchiladas recipe from Taste of Home is one that I have made often in the past, but just made it again last week. 

This recipe also freezes well, and as the recipe makes two 9x13 pans, it works great to put one in the freezer to use later during this busy holiday season. It also would work well to dice up some of your left-over turkey meat from Thanksgiving Day to use in this recipe.

4. In a large bowl, combine the soup, sour cream, milk and chilies; pour over enchiladas.


5. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

You can add toppings, if you wish, for these creamy enchiladas ... as in the photo above (from several years ago), smothered with sour cream, salad greens, and tomatoes. It is also delicious served without toppings.
