Cara's White Chicken Enchiladas
- 2 lb shredded, cooked chicken. I cook breasts or tenders in a slow cooker, but any kind or method is up to you
- 1 can Small can Rotel, I used original. Any variety will work, depending on your level on spice desired
- 2 clove garlic, minced. Fresh or jarred is your choice. This goes in with the chicken for the slow cooker
- 1/2 cup chopped or sliced onion. Also for the slow cooker. If u don't want to have onion in chicken mixture, Slice large to make removal easier bit still benefiting from flavor
- 2 packages cream cheese (8oz each). I let mine sit out a few hours to get room temperature
- 1 lb Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded. Any Cheese may be used if you prefer something different
- 8 oz Small container of sour cream. I used only about half the container
- 1 cup milk
- 1 packages white corn tortillas 20pk
- 1 salt, pepper, cumin, fajita seasoning, garlic powder. Each is to your own taste & preference. I used the seasonings for the chicken & in the sauce
- 3 cup chicken broth
- Slow cooker: Add chicken broth, onions, garlic, seasonings & chicken.
- Cover & cook on low 6-8 hrs or high 4 hours.
- Shred cooked chicken & reserve broth.
- Remove onions if desired.
- Place chicken in a skillet with 1/2 cup of broth to keep moisture.
- Simmer on low.
- In a different skillet, add remaining broth, 2 pkgs of cream cheese, 1 can rotel, 1/2 container of sour cream, 1 cup milk & 1/2 of the shredded cheese.
- Season as desired & keep on medium heat.
- Stir frequently to help cheeses melt.
- Once the sauce is completely liquid, you can test the flavor to see if more seasonings need to be added.
- Lower heat to simmer (low)
- Next, spoon about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of sauce over the shredded chicken.
- Stir & coat well.
- This will help keep it together when spooning in tortillas.
- Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x13 pan with sauce to prevent sticking & burning during baking.
- Dip one side of tortilla in sauce & lay that side down in baking dish.
- The dry side is where you will spoon the chicken.
- Roll up, seam side down.
- Repeat until you run out of space or chicken, or tortillas!
- Remaining sauce & chicken(if any) now gets poured over the enchiladas.
- Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350 for 20 min, covered.
- Uncover another 10min.
- Let sit 10-15min before eating.
- This prevents the sauce from being too runny when serving.
- Enjoy!
