Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Green Chicken Enchiladas.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350Ā°F (175Ā°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Now, letās soften those tortillas! Wrap them in damp paper towels and pop them in the microwave for about 20 secondsājust enough time to make them pliable and easy to work with.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine a can of creamy mushroom soup with zesty green taco sauce, chopped green chiles, and fresh green onions.
Step 5
Stir everything together until itās well blended and inviting.
Step 6
Next, gently fold in your shredded chicken, ensuring every piece is coated in that delicious mixture.
Step 7
Now comes the fun part! Take a portion of the chicken mixture and spread it onto each tortilla.
Step 8
Donāt forget to sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top before rolling them up tightly.
Step 9
Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in your prepared baking dish, creating a lovely layer of goodness.
Step 10
Once all the tortillas are snug in the dish, pour any remaining chicken mixture over the top and finish with a generous sprinkle of cheese.
Step 11
To let those flavors mingle and deepen, cover the dish with aluminum foil and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or even better, overnight.
Step 12
This step is key for a truly flavorful dish! When youāre ready to bake, take the dish out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 13
This helps everything heat evenly.
Step 14
Now, itās time to bake! Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it cook for 30 minutes.
Step 15
After that, remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, creating a mouthwatering crust.
Step 16
Once itās done, let the aroma fill your kitchen and enjoy the deliciousness youāve created! This dish is perfect for gatherings or a cozy family dinner, and itās sure to become a favorite.
