Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 2 medium chicken breasts or rotisserie)
10 medium flour tortillas
1 cup sour cream
1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce (red or green)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add jalapeños if desired for heat.
In another bowl, stir together sour cream and cream of chicken soup until smooth.
Place about 1/4 cup chicken mixture and a bit of cheddar cheese on a tortilla, roll it up, and set seam-side down in the dish.
Repeat with all tortillas and arrange snugly in the baking dish.
Spread remaining sour cream mixture over enchiladas, drizzle enchilada sauce on top, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Let sit a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For convenience, use rotisserie chicken. You can prep this dish the night before, just refrigerate and bake when ready. Try Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese for a flavor twist.
