Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

  1. Set oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. Cover the chicken breasts with water in a large stock pot.
  4. Bring to a boil, and cook until done.
  5. Remove and shred with two forks or cube into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepot, combine the milk, cream of chicken soup, and spices (cumin, chili powder, black pepper).
  7. The spices in the step are really up to you.
  8. Season to taste!
  9. You might also add garlic powder, onion powder, etc.
  10. Sometimes I like to add diced, sauteed onions to this mix ... sometimes I dont, depending on my level of laziness!
  11. Mix your sauce together and let it simmer for a bit.
  12. Once its had time to cook a bit, add in the diced/shredded chicken and remove from heat.
  13. Heat oil in large skillet, over medium heat.
  14. One at a time, add a tortilla, cooking for just a few seconds per side.
  15. Once its nice and soft, remove from the oil (let excess oil drip off), and lay in a baking dish.
  16. Now, at this point, you can either line the baking dish with tortillas and make this a casserole, or make individual enchiladas.
  17. I like the casserole versionits easy!
  18. So, line your baking dish with softened tortillas until they cover the bottom in one layer (overlap them so no glass is showing).
  19. Next, add half of the chicken mixture, and spread over the tortillas.
  20. Add a sprinkling of cheese, and repeat the layers until you are out of tortillas and chicken.
  21. Make sure you end with a layer of tortillas on top.
  22. Slather sour cream over the top of all of this, and top with a nice layer of shredded cheese.
  23. Pop this in the oven, uncovered, for about 40 minutes or until the cheese is nice and bubbly and starting to brown a bit.
  24. Serve with Mexican rice, refried beans or sides of your choice.
  25. Easy modification: skip the tortilla-oil step and warm them in the microwave.
  26. But I warn you, the flavor just isnt the same!
