Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
1 T. butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 4.5 oz. can chopped green chilies
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
8 8-inch flour tortillas
2 8-oz. packages Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
2 c. whipping cream
3 1/2 c. chopped, cooked chicken breast
Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat; add onion, and saute 5 minutes. Add green chilies;
saute 1 minute. Stir in cream cheese and chicken; cook, stirring constantly, until cheese melts.
Spoon 2-3 T. chicken mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas and place seam side
down, in a lightly greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Sprinkle with Monterrey Jack cheese and drizzle with
whipping cream. To lighten, substitute half milk. (But we never do, we’re oinkers!)
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until bubbly and browned just the way you like them.

Yummmm! We never subtitute for the lighter options either, as it doesn’t taste quite as good. Our butter is still full cream…none of that 50% fat stuff. Fortunately for me and the geezer, we’re very good with the will power….or we have small tummies as they seem to fill up quick.
Happy Birthday to Big Boy!! The recipe looks great (no sight of mashed potatoes) – now Anna did you get to try a fig?

This recipe looks great! I like my cheese on the brown-side too!
We have company for 4 days and that might be the perfect dish for tomorrow night. It looks so yummy. Can’t wait for that first bite…

Oh they sound tasty!
A great easy idea! We love them- even GOM who claims not to like cheese!
Your recipes are always keepers! This one looks really good. Thank you.
Thank you for the nice welcome back too. I appreciate it.
Safe journey to you!
Oh God, I AM on a DIET but once I start to read something, I JUST CAN’T STOP until it’s finished! Come to think of it, maybe that’s my food issue too? Anyway, they look so darn yummy, I just wanted to lick my screen. I’m not telling whether I did or not–I wouldn’t want anyone to think I’m weird. At least I just finished dinner, and maybe by tomorrow, I’ll have forgotten. One nice thing about getting a little older is that sometimes that happens!
Glad I’m not on a diet, someone could gain 10 pounds just by looking at the pic!! I’m hungry now, do you thing 7:30 in the morning is too early to make some? Have a safe trip!! and a fun day!!
Oh that looks soooo good. When I feel like a human again, I’m gonna have to make some enchiladas!!
They look delicious Anna, but I’d better not try them just yet–I’m still working on a post-partum 15 pounds…
I would love to come over for an enchilada dinner. I love enchiladas but they always taste better when someone else makes them. Someone else who isn;t afriad of a little whole dairy!!!! Mmmmmm, que bueno!!!!

This looks so delicious… I’m hungry!!
I will say now, Yes, please :0) If I ever get out from under these tomatoes, I’m so there. Maybe they’d just go nicely with some fresh salsa. So I can use some tomatoes.
Save me.
Yummmmm! Sounds delish! I wouldn’t substitute milk for the cream either.
