Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

Easy Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas for Busy Nights


Description

Hey there, fellow food lovers! If you’re like me and constantly juggling between work, kids, and all the daily chaos, then you’ll absolutely adore this recipe for Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas. Seriously, these beauties are not only incredibly tasty but also super simple to whip up on those busy weeknights when you need dinner to be more “let’s eat!” and less “let’s take all day cooking.” Utilizing just a handful of ingredients, you’ll have a  creamy, cheesy dish that feels like a warm hug on a plate. So, let’s dive right into this deliciously easy recipe!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 810 flour tortillas (the soft, pillowy kind that make life delightful)
  • 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese (the star of our show)
  • 12 (4 oz.) cans green chiles (for that perfect spice)
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (just grab a rotisserie chicken for ease!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s like getting your warm-up in before the main event!
  2. Mix It Up: In a mixing bowl, combine your cream cheese and green chiles. Mix until they’re well blended and smooth. If it looks a tad lumpy, don’t worry—this is not a beauty contest; it’s comfort food!
  3. Add Chicken: Toss in the shredded chicken and fold it into the mixture. Don’t be shy here—make sure every piece is coated in that creamy goodness!
  4. Stuff Those Tortillas: Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll them up tightly like a cozy burrito and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish. It’s like tucking them in for a cozy nap!
  5. Bake Away: Slide your baking dish into the oven and let those enchiladas bake for 20-25 minutes, until they’re heated through and slightly golden on top. Your kitchen will smell like pure heaven—trust me!
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once they’re done, serve these enchiladas warm, and watch everyone at the table smile as they dig in. Maybe have a side of guacamole or a fresh salad to keep it refreshing!

Notes

  • Store-bought rotisserie chicken: This little hack saves time—just grab one and shred it! No need for a slow cooker or stovetop fuss.
  • Make it spicy: If you like it hot, add some diced jalapeños to your filling or even some spicy salsa on top before serving!
  • Freezer-friendly: Want to make these ahead? Assemble the enchiladas and freeze them before baking. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready!
