Sloppy Chicken Enchiladas
Loading ...
.
HERE’S HOW EASY IT IS
- 1 1/2 pounds of frozen skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 1 can (4 oz) green chilies
- 1/3 can roasted garlic tomatoes, drained
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preheated oven to 350F degrees.
Gently defrost frozen chicken breasts in microwave, enough to cut up easily. In medium pan with 2 tablespoons of oil over medium to medium high heat, add cut up breasts in half dollar size pieces, onions, water, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper, cover with lid. Cook the chicken for 15 minutes, until fully cooked.
In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Use a pizza cutter to cut up tortillas into bite size pieces. Misted a 13×9×2 casserole dish with nonstick spray. When the chicken is finally cooked, empty the chicken mixture (broth & all) into the large soup mix bowl and stir. Toss in the tortillas and stir them around until they are well coated with the soup mix. Then, transfer the sloppy enchiladas to the casserole dish, spread it out evenly then top it with the cheese. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
KID FRIENDLY TIP
Top only half of the casserole with green chilies and tomatoes.

Hi Andy! Thank you!
Sloppy chicken enchiladas was born from not having enough time to actually roll enchiladas. I do the same thing on occasion to the Ranch Burritos recipe. My family doesn’t mind, they think they’re eating a different recipe when it’s really one of their old favorites.
You’re doing a great work over at The New Cook, I really like your writing style. You help me remember what it’s like to learn how to cook. I’ll be lurking your blog for inspiration and perspective quite often.
