Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
12 mins

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground chicken and onion in the hot skillet until chicken is no longer pink, crumbly, and onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle taco seasoning over top and add 1/2 cup water. Stir and cook until water is evaporated, 5 to 8 minutes. Add cream of chicken soup, cream cheese chunks, and sour cream. Stir until melted and fully incorporated. Stir in black pepper. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

03

Step
0 mins

Pour one can of enchilada sauce into the prepared baking dish and spread to cover the bottom. Divide chicken mixture between the 8 tortillas and roll up tightly. Place filled tortillas in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Five should fit lengthwise and the remaining three should fit widthwise to fill the dish. Pour second can of enchilada sauce on top of rolled tortillas. Cover the dish tightly with foil. (Assembly time: 20 minutes)

04

Step
48 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and remove foil. Sprinkle with both shredded cheeses, then green onions and black olives. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more. (Bake time: 50 minutes)

05

Step

Remove from the oven and allow to sit, 8 to 10 minutes before serving. (Rest time: 10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the ground chicken mixture.
To prevent tortillas from tearing, warm them slightly in a dry skillet or microwave before filling.
Feel free to substitute the Monterey Jack and Mexican-blend cheeses with your favorite shredded cheese options.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

    These enchiladas were a hit! The ground chicken was a nice change from shredded. I'll definitely make this again.

    Next time, I'll try adding some corn to the filling for a Southwestern twist.

    I used low-fat cream cheese and sour cream to lighten it up, and it still tasted amazing!
