White Chicken Enchiladas

Sharing is caring!

Did you know that you can buy a rotisserie chicken from the store and create these delicious White Chicken Enchiladas? Get dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Packed with flavor and creamy goodness, your family will surely be wowed with this dish.

Mexican food is my jam. I am a true lover of all things taco, Mexican Cheese Dip, delicious Pioneer Woman Salsa, and these amazing White Chicken Enchiladas.

Sometimes, but not that often, I get really tired of just tacos. When I do, I find other recipes that fit my tastebuds, and these easy enchiladas do the trick every time.

Now, I am not a fan of red enchilada sauce, unless I make it homemade. But this white enchilada sauce has quickly become my favorite.

How to Make White Chicken Enchiladas

This recipe is super simple thanks to the rotisserie chicken I picked up from the store. No need to cook any chicken for this dish. It cuts down on the cooking time and is also cheaper than buying chicken to cook for this recipe.

Start by pulling all the meat off the chicken. Discard the bones and the skin. If you are like me, the skin doesn't go to waste. I eat it as a snack 🙂

Once all the chicken has been pulled from the bones, set it aside. Now, add some cheese to the chicken and start filling the tortillas.

Take a 10″ flour tortilla and place some of the chicken and cheese inside. Roll them up tight, and place them in a 9×13 baking dish. You should be able to fit 8-10 tortillas in the pan.

Now, make the sauce — chicken broth, flour, butter, sour cream, and diced green chiles. Pour over the top of the enchiladas and then top with cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. That's it! If you want the cheese bubblier and more brown, simply place it under the broiler for a minute or two.

If you love chicken casserole-type dishes, try this Easy Cheesy Chicken Bake — full of garlicky goodness!

What to serve with White Chicken Enchiladas

When serving this dish, you can make a side of Mexican Rice, or Pico de Gallo to serve over the top. You can even make a batch of easy guacamole.
