How to Make Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook chicken: Cook 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through. Shred chicken.
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup chopped green chilies, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Assemble enchiladas: Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Fill each tortilla (about 12 corn or flour tortillas) with about 1/2 cup of shredded chicken and roll them up. Place the filled tortillas seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
- Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
