This is the second in the freezer meals series. This recipe and several more were shared by Suzanne on a forum I frequent. I’ve tried quite a few enchilada recipes. These were cheesy and mild. The kids really liked them. They also froze and reheated really well.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 Tbs. butter
- 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 can diced green chilis
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1-2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cups milk, plus extra
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- flour tortillas
Saute the onion and garlic in the butter. Stir in the sour cream, green chilis and soup. Mix well and take out 3/4 cup of sauce to reserve for later. Add the chicken and 1/2 cup cheese to the sauce still in the pan.
Fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture, rolling and placing in a greased baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the reserved sauce with the milk. I added a second can of cream of chicken soup and extra milk. Pour this sauce over the enchiladas in the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until hot. Or, cover tightly with foil and freeze. Label with the instructions, “Thaw in fridge. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until bubbly.”






[…] Golden Chicken Enchiladas […]
these things are awesome. i’ve made them twice and everyone loves them
This is the basic enchilada recipe that my mom has used for as long as I can remember (except she uses cream of onion soup). I’d always wondered if it was “freezable,” but wasn’t brave enough to try it. Thrilled to know that it is!
[…] I subject Michael to it at least once a week. Last night was that night! I got this recipe from Eat at Home, and lightened it up a little. It came out absolutely delicious. Total creamy comfort food. […]
[…] Golden Chicken Enchiladas – This can be frozen or eaten right away. If you have a small family you may have enough to put half in the freezer. One recipe serves about 6 people. […]
I have my own version of CE that I have made for years with a red sauce and cilantro, but today- YES TODAY- I am trying these out. They look very gooey and cheesey!
I wanted you to know that I did make these with the corn tortillas, except I was feeling lazy so I made a casserole instead of individual enchiladas. It turned out very tasty! I think next time I will use the flour tortillas and maybe add a tad bit more spice, but all in all it was easy and good. Thanks!
Süper bir lezzet!Türk yemekleride harikadır…
Thanks, Cahide! I put this in a Turkish/English online translator and it means “Super taste! Turk wonderful…”
This will be dinner! I have everything but flour tortillas so I will just use corn tortillas unless I get out to the store.
Thanks!
These look really good! My boys love chicken enchiladas but are ready for a new version. This looks perfect : )
