So my last post was about some recent recipes that I have begun to try and they were very good, but I definitely saved the best for last (in this go around). We went to VA for Labor Day weekend and had a nice time relaxing and hanging out with Lance's side of the family. I got to not only visit with the family I already knew, but also meet a few more cousins. (he has a LARGE family!) We came home early Monday morning and I decided to try my last recipe out that evening. My latest adventure in the kitchen was making Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas.
Now I know from the picture it looks like a massive amount of cheese, but it really isnt. The cheese just kind of expanded over the sauce and blended in with it. This recipe by no means is healthy (must be why it's so yummy!) but it isn't 12lbs of cheese either! :) This one was also very simple to make.
Ingredients
- 6-8 corn tortillas (enchilada size)
- 1 pre-cooked plain rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup sweet corn
- 4 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided in half
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1-1/4 cups chicken broth
- 1 – 10oz can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 – 4oz can chopped green chiles
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Fill the center of each tortilla with a handful of shredded chicken, a tablespoon or so of the corn, and a pinch of the shredded cheese.
3. Roll and place in the bottom of a baking dish with the seam side down.
4. In a pot over medium heat melt the better. Add flour and whisk into a thick paste.
5. Add chicken broth, cream of chicken, sour cream, chiles, salt and pepper.
6. Whisk gently for about 5 minutes until warm and smooth.
7. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas and top with remaining shredded cheese.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes and serve warm.
This is definitely something I will be making again and highly recommend!
On another note, our wedding is in 52 days!!! That means just 6 short weeks from this Saturday I will be on a plane heading home to have my last week of crazy, hectic planning before the BIG day. I don't think there is a way to express my excitement. I am so ready to see everything all come together and marry my wonderful fiance, and go on our FABULOUS honeymoon. (Hello St. Thomas!) The next few weeks are going to fly by and be so much fun with engagement pictures, my NC showers and bachelorette party, MS shower and bachelorette party, and last minute details. Let the festivities begin!!! :)
From my countdown app! :)
