Gwen says
Sounds tasty will be making this for my family & friends. Thks.
Karen says
I make mine about the same but add a can of green chilis.
Kristi says
If you have Celiac Disease this recipe is just as good using corn tortillas. Be sure to check and make sure the soup you are using is gluten free. I use homemade S.O.S. mix and make my own.
Jennifer says
Just found your site! LOVE it and can’t wait to make so many of these recipes. With your nutrition facts on this one, would that be per enchilada?
Carrie says
It’s for 1/8 of the entire dish, so if you made 8 enchiladas, then this would be for 1. Sometimes, I make a few more if I have room in my pan 🙂
Lisa Giles says
This is now on our families weekly list to make. They absolutely love them! We use a whole package of taco seasoning in our meat and 2 cans of cream of chicken in ours. So good!! Thanks for the recipe
Carrie says
Awesome! I’m glad everyone loved them. We love them as well!
Meg says
Made these tonight for dinner, just put them into the oven, I taste as I cook and oh WOW so yummy!! I am certain this will be a hit with my family!! Already hearing “man what smells so good mom” so I’m sure this will become a regular dinner at our home. Thank you!!
Carrie says
I’m glad you liked them. Thanks for sharing!
Krystle says
When you freeze on pan…when do you freeze it? Before baking it?
Carrie says
Yes, I would freeze it before baking it.
Connie says
I made the Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas for supper tonight and they were wonderful. I used canned chicken bc that’s all I had and used the canned cream of chicken soup, Mexican shredded cheese, can of Rotel and added black beans. They were yummy ???… I will be making them again, soon. Thank you so much for an awesome recipe.
Carrie says
Thank you Connie!
Shelly says
We made these last night with flour tortillas, and left out tje onions. They were delicious!!!
Landry says
So delicious! Second time making in two weeks, I added a half can of hot Chile’s with a can of mild this time. The leftovers taste even better. (Only cooking for two) Thanks for this GREAT recipe!?
Carrie says
Awesome – Great to hear! Thanks for sharing.
Matthew Fleming says
Made these and they turned out perfect! Thanks for the recipes!
charity says
Made them with bacon and mushrooms sauteed with the onions…. so amazing and thank you!!
Don says
Fixed these tonight & used mild green enchilada sauce instead of Rotel, put some black olives in also. Wife loves it. Will be making again
Rhonda says
When freezing them, do you thaw in fridge before cooking?
Kevin says
I made this as directed. The enchiladas turned out wonderful and it was fairly easy and quick. This recipe will be going into my recipe box.
Carrie says
That sounds delicious! Thanks Charity for sharing.
Gail Wilson says
I had some rotisserie chicken left over and wanted to make sour cream chicken enchiladas. This recipe sounded good so tried it and it was more than good….it was great!!! Quick and easy to put together, especially when the chicken was already cooked 🙂 My husband and I both loved it and will be making it again for sure.
Judy says
I don’t have enough chicken and live quite far from a grocery store. Can you add the Spanish rice to the chicken filling?
Sue Pence says
Thx for the really good keeper recipe. Already a picky family favorite. Now I have to clean up because it is all gone.???
Kimberly says
When freezing them, how long do you thaw before cooking?
Damita Harrell says
The best ever, I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. In addition, I used chicken taco seasoning and taco seasoning because I had at least 10 pieces. I also marinated my chicken thighs in terakyi sauce to enhance the flavor. Inadvertently, I over seasoned the chicken thighs, but it worked to my advantage. I didn’t have to season my dish at all. By doubling the ingredients I’m sure I was able to capture the same flavors from the original recipe. It was so good and flavorful I ate it for breakfast too. Thank u for the recipe, I will use it to make a Mexican lasagna next.
Carrie says
I’m so glad you loved it!
Jessica says
Have made this a few times now and absolutely love it!!
Just froze a batch for the first time, so you recommend thawing before cooking, or cooking straight from frozen?
Thank you!
Brandy says
I made these last week and they were a hit! My husband asked for them again this week, so we may be having these tonight! I added green chilies along with the rotel and also a can of green chilies to the sour cream sauce. My husband likes to put lettuce and tomato on top of his!
Amy says
What could I substitute for the Rotel tomatoes? Husband basically doesn’t like tomatoes or anything green in his food. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Carrie says
Anytime of salsa would work as well if he likes that. If not try a can of enchilada sauce.
Kerri says
This is a good recipe for a quick and easy meal. I used white corn tortillas softened in oil, and added a little extra rotel to the filling and they were tasty! I’ll be making this again.
Paula says
Excellent made for lunch today & we all loved them! Follow the recipe exactly. The only change was to add a little garlic powder to the chicken and the sauce.
Carrie says
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Denise says
Great Recipe!!
What’s funny is I use this same chicken recipe (Frozen Chicken Breasts, Rotels, Onion and Taco Seasoning pkg) in the crockpot. I typically throw it in the crockpot (*Tip – use a crockpot liner) before bed on low then I’m ready to assemble the next day. I double, triple or quadruple. I can make a bunch of different freezer meals – My three main ones are: Enchiladas, Taco’s, Hawaiian Haystacks. Everyone loves these Enchiladas. Thank you!
Carrie says
I love making a huge batch to make different times of meals! Great idea – thanks for sharing!
Kelly says
I too would like to know more about the freezing. Would you still add the mixture on top of the rolled enchiladas before freezing? And do you recommend they be thawed before baking?
Carrie says
Yes, I would do all the step except back them. Add the mixture on top, cover and freeze. When you are ready to bake it, defrost it overnight in the refrigerator and bake according to the recipe.
Tricia Kokotan says
A HUGE hit for dinner last night. Everyone loved them and said they were better than the restaurants’. I made double the recipe so there were extras to be frozen. I made them exactly as the recipe stated. I also made the rice and it too was a hit.. Thanks
Carrie says
Woohoo! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed them – thank you!
Nonna says
I made these but am not going to cook and serve for 6 hours. Should I put the sauce on now or wait until I put in oven? Concerned about the sauce making it soggy if I put it on ahead of time. Thanks
Carrie says
I would wait and put the sauce on right before baking. Thank you!
Jaimie says
My family absolutely Loves this recipe!!
Kenna Brooke says
A family favorite! Delicious and easy! We also tried it out with pork leftovers and it turned out also!
Catherine says
Super easy and filling-my husband loves them!
