An easy to prepare meal that won’t take you all day!
So we eat a lot of enchiladas at my house, red chile with beef, red chile with chicken and green chile chicken. I think though the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas are one of my favorites and they are very easy to prepare! I love this dish the next day, the leftovers are so yummy!
Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas
- 2 Chicken Breasts
- 1 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1 can of diced green chile’s or jalapeno’s (depending on how hot you like it or if you have your own frozen chile’s thaw and chop about ½ C.)
- 9 -12 Corn Tortillas
- Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese
Boil the chicken breasts, let cool slightly and shred. Set aside the water, the chicken was boiled in, for the next step.
Combine both cream soups into a saucepan and add 2 cans of the chicken water and whisk until smooth. Add green chile’s and heat through.
In a glass baking dish, coat the bottom of the pan with the cream soup mixture and layer corn tortillas, chicken and cheese, cover with cream soup mixture. Continue to layer until the last layer, when you will layer tortillas, chicken, soup and top with cheese.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until heated throughout and cheese has melted.
Serves 6 – 8
Serve with spanish rice, the perfect compliment to this delicious dish.

Do you lay the tortillas down flat when you layer them or roll them up like an Enchilada?
Lori
Hi Alanna, For this particular recipe the tortillas are not rolled but layered. Hope you enjoy!

Lori
Patricia, I’m not sure how that part of the instructions disappeared. Here are the cooking directions: Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until heated throughout and cheese has melted.

Will this get soggy if you assemble a day ahead?
