Tips for Making Quick & Easy Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chile Sauce
These enchiladas are not spicy, they are full of delicious flavors. If a hint of heat is what you prefer, there are options for hot green chiles (canned) and you can substitute Pepper Jack Cheese for the Cheddar Cheese.
I use shredded rotisserie chicken to make this recipe. You can also cook a couple of skinless chicken breasts in a skillet or oven for these enchiladas or you may use canned chicken breast. You will need at lease 2 cups of shredded, cooked chicken for the enchiladas
If you like to add vegetables to your enchiladas then zucchini, spinach, or frozen (thawed) corn will all work well! If you like black beans, rinse and add to your recipe!
Warm tortillas are easier to roll. I use a cast iron tortilla warmer to heat my tortillas.

How to Make Quick & Easy Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chile Sauce
If you are using a rotisserie chicken, this recipe comes together very quickly!
Step 1: Heat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Next, mix the chicken broth, green chilies, cream of chicken soup, and pepper together and set aside. Chop the onions. Shred the chicken using two forks. Move to a large bowl and add the chopped onion and combine.
Step 2: Place the shredded chicken mixture on the center of the tortilla, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and roll up and place seam side down on the bottom of the pan. Continue this process until your prepared pan is filled with rolled enchiladas.
Step 3: Pour the homemade green enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Move to your preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling at the edges. Add your favorite toppings, like cilantro, a little sour cream and hot sauce!
How to Store Quick & Easy Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chile Sauce
Store the enchiladas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The enchiladas reheat well in the microwave the next day.
