Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Ground Chicken Enchiladas.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, cook the ground chicken along with the minced onion.
Step 4
Stir occasionally until the chicken turns a lovely white and the onion softens, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 5
Once that’s done, sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken mixture and pour in 1/2 cup of water.
Step 6
Stir it all together and let it simmer until the water evaporates, roughly 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 7
Next, add in the cream of chicken soup, chunks of cream cheese, and sour cream.
Step 8
Stir until everything melts together into a creamy, delicious mixture.
Step 9
Don’t forget to season it with a dash of ground black pepper to suit your taste.
Step 10
Now, pour one can of enchilada sauce into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a flavorful base.
Step 11
Take your tortillas and divide the chicken mixture among them, rolling each one up tightly.
Step 12
Place the filled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish, fitting five lengthwise and three widthwise for a snug fit.
Step 13
Pour the second can of enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are completely covered.
Step 14
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep all that goodness inside.
Step 15
Bake in your preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
Step 16
When the time is up, carefully remove the foil and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheeses, sliced green onions, and black olives on top.
Step 17
Pop the dish back in the oven, uncovered, for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a mouthwatering golden crust.
Step 18
Once it’s done, let it sit for about 8 to 10 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
Step 19
This dish is sure to be a hit, bringing warmth and comfort to your table! Enjoy every cheesy, flavorful bite!.
