This chicken enchiladas recipe is so easy, yet tastes like what you would find at your favorite Mexican restaurant. If you don’t have a ceramic coated baking pan I would highly suggest one. They work so beautifully from oven to table for serving dishes like this.

I would also recommend some tasty tequila drinks to accompany chicken enchiladas…this bar set will work nicely to whip up some tasty margaritas for your friends and family! Chicken enchiladas are perfect for the big game, they go great with this easy Mai Tai Recipe!

Another great drink to serve with these tasty enchiladas is the perfect lime Patron margarita! If you are looking to make a great Mexican style feast you should definitely include crockpot black bean dip which you can throw together in just minutes.

Easy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe Ingredients

Enchiladas aren’t very complicated, soft tortillas, filled with meats or cheeses, drenched in sauce and covered with cheese. But if you want to make the best chicken enchiladas recipe you will need a very specific set of ingredients. The soft burrito shells, enchilada sauce, and shredded Mexican cheese are basics.

What people don’t often think of is the evaporated milk this recipe requires.

Salsa is basic unless of course, you have a favorite brand, then you can make this recipe even more special, cooking wine, and olive oil will help in the cooking process. Of course, there are some ingredients that are optional but highly recommended like sour cream, refried beans, black olives, and shredded lettuce.

Directions for Easy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Add 2 tablespoons of cooking wine and olive oil to taste to a pan. I love our Le Creuset cookware because it brings out the flavor in the dishes.

Add sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, and 1/3 can of enchilada sauce.  Cook with the cover on.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

When the chicken is fully cooked, cut it up into small pieces or strips.

Then add the chicken to 1/3 can of enchilada sauce and 1/2 can of evaporated milk. Mix ingredients.

Add half of the cheese and mix ingredients together.

Add the easy chicken enchiladas recipe mixture to soft flour taco shells and roll them up tightly.

Place in sprayed or lightly oiled pan with sides for the oven.  Fill the pan and spread the rest of the cheese on top with the remaining enchilada sauce if desired.

Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese melts and shells are lightly toasted.
