Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas is a family favorite that comes together quickly and is full of flavor.

Creamy chicken enchiladas is a recipe that my sister-in-law gave to me ages ago. I know that it is one of her family’s favorite recipes and since she gave it to me it has become one of my family favorites too.

I didn’t grow up with foods such as enchiladas or tacos. Growing up on a dairy farm it was meat and potatoes all the way with some vegetables thrown in. As a kid we never complained, my mom was a fantastic cook and even though she is in her 80s she is still a great cook. But my dad did not go for foods that would include chilis or even green peppers.  That was just how it was. I am not complaining, I really didn’t mind it back then.

These days I still enjoy my meat and potatoes, but I also really love to make recipes like this creamy chicken enchiladas.

When you look at the ingredients you will see that there is a can of cream of chicken soup (condensed soups). Now I know some of you out there will not touch a can of any condensed soup, but really I do like using them once in a while when making dishes like this. I think they give the dishes great flavor and a creamy texture.

But if you can’t stand the thought of using a can cream of chicken I have found a recipe from Dinner then Dessert that I think would be a great alternative.

Ok enough about this cream of chicken soup. The enchiladas are full of flavor and full of a creamy chicken filling. Topped with cheddar cheese. Really who can resist creamy chicken and cheese?
