Simple Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Reviews
I would like to take the time to thank everyone for there take on this excellent recipe especially if your going to save me some time now I like to change the cream cheese and use regatta and add mushrooms and bell peppers yellow and red not the green ones now all you name callers shut up and make your own variety this is my Italian/Mexican comfort food and freezes well
This is a great basic Tex mex recipe. I typically cut out the cream sauce portion and get green chili sauce. Just a preference. However I added one can of chicken soup to my mix to try. I also added some precooked onions. When I assembled my burrito I dip in sauce add a dab of retried beans then some of my mixture. Very yummy. Topped it with some sour cream and cilantro. Now for the negative Nancy’s out there who have nothing better to do with their time but to post negative comments and especially those who never tried this recipe yet, run their mouth; you all need to get a damn life. I will never understand how hard it is to review this or ANY recipe and see the ingredients and if you don’t like it, (hey here’s a novel idea and I hope your sitting down for this); move the hell on. Yeah. That’s right you can do it. Use that same finger that you used to type out all those negative comments and yes, Hit that back button girl. It really works and will take up less TIME out of your life as well as many others here. :) Go on try it today. Your welcome.
My family thought this was beyond great.
My family enjoyed this dish and asked that I make it again. I cut the recipe in half, used low sodium soups and a low sodium enchilada seasoning packet instead of the seasoning recommended. So easy and yummy!
I cannot rate it with stars as I have not tried this recipe as of yet! I just wanted to point out to those who choose to be so negative that she NEVER said anywhere in this recipe that it was authentic! As well as there is a section that gives you other options to make it with less sodium!!! Why can’t people just be nice????? That’s not a difficult choice at all to make! Thank you Melissa for taking the time to share your recipe! I will definitely give it a try!!!
Enchiladas are never made with flour tortillas. These are smothered burritos. Although quick and easy, definitely not authentic.
I’m sorry, this is NOT authentic. Your head will explode with all the MSG from the canned soup (just look at the sodium content above)!
I loved these enchiladas! The only change I will make next time is to reduce the chili powder and cumin to 1 tsp, just for my taste. I also added sliced black olives to the chicken mixture and served with sour cream and lettuce. Yummmy!!
These reviews crack me up !! Bitchy asses. All of ya !! Good recipe. I enjoyed every drop of that unhealthy canned sodium. And to the person that reviewed without trying. I appreciated your input and thank you for the tip on cosco chicken. To the person spewing over that review shame on you !! Go drink a beer and relax ! Now back to the recipe. It makes a good size amount. The only change I made was from another review on cutting down the cream cheese. Not a huge fan of cream cheese. So it's a personal preference. Other than that it's good ole cream soup casserole sure to please.
I personally haven't tried the recipe yet, but just reading through it will turn out and not disappoint. It reads like a safe casserole that all will be happy with. I heard Costco sells rotisserie chicken already shredded without having to do that part, it's a great hot dish to pass.
