Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Verde

  4.4 – 109 reviews  • Chicken

Frozen strawberry pie is simple and quick! Any fruit will work well as a substitution for the strawberries and still turn out well. If you’d prefer, you may also use strawberries that have been frozen. An Oreo crust for this pie is also tasty.

Christine Thomas
It was awful!! Bland and gummy, and it made a lot
Michael Austin
Delicious! Seasoned chicken with homemade fajita seasoning and then grilled it. Had to use regular salsa. Will definitely make again.
Christina Higgins
I will definitely make this again.My husband and I both loved it. I tweaked to our tastes but the blueprint recipe was perfect. We like a little kick so we used medium heat salsa verde. I prefer Goya and used the entire bottle. I added cumin and black and red pepper to the meat mixture. I also put a thin layer of the salsa verde on the bottom of the baking dish – the corn tortillas just soaked it up. Added a little more cheese to the chicken mixture and added a drizzling of salsa verde over the sour cream mixture on top. Definitely be sure to cover with foil when baking. I honestly would not change a thing after tweaking and appreciate this great recipe!
Brendan Martin
This recipe is fantastic! I did add about 3/4 tsp. of chili pepper To add some kick! Hubby loved it! Will definitely add this to the rotation!
Deanna Lewis
These enchiladas were fantastic, delicious!! My husband, daughter and son-in-law loved them! Will be making them again soon.
Lance Watson
Super easy and tasty! I would use corn tortillas instead of flour…I felt that flour made it a little mushy/doughy. I also added frozen corn and a can of black beans.
Stephanie Hicks
I made this I tweaked it though by using a small jar of picante sauce and big can of green enchilada sauce. I also used 2 cups of four cheese blend with an additional cup of Monterey Jack cheese. came out amazing.
Ashley Taylor
The chicken filling was delicious, no question. The recipe calls for flour tortillas and I made exactly as directed but heated up the tortillas before filling because a reviewer recommended it. After removing from the oven, the flour tortillas were soggy and ruined the whole meal. My family loves food like this but I recommend using corn tortillas as is the norm with enchiladas. Bon Appétit.
Samantha Welch
spicy and lovely. easy to make and a big hit. I made it just as recipe stated.
David Bray
Surprised how well this turned out. Used canned green enchilada sauce and mostly Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, because I didn’t want to use up all my sour cream. Also made double the sauce to use up the enchilada sauce; would probably not make quite that much next time. For meat I used frozen cooked pulled pork I had on hand. Marinated and freshly cooked meat of course would be better. Would add cumin and cream cheese to the meat next time, too. This is a great basic enchilada recipe!
Maria Phillips
I added drained black beans to the mix and boiled the chicken in fajita seasoned water. Gave it extra flavor.
Jennifer Swanson
I made it with chicken & green enchilada sauce as well as pulled pork & red sauce. I also have used corn, flour & gluten free tortillas. All of the have been amazing!
Anthony Bullock
Spectacular recipe. I only added diced cilantro to the top and some diced black olives to the chicken mixture. Mega-compliments! I can’t wait to make it again! Kudos to Kraft!
Kimberly Sanchez
Great recipe. I added more sauce over the enchiladas when baking, everything came out terrific!
Erik Patterson
Delicious & it was a family hit! The caramelized onions made this meal! I know people hate it when they tweak the recipe but I have to, to make it healthy! I substituted sour cream for Greek yogurt and I used low carb tortillas.. sooooooo yummmmmyyyyy!!!
Debbie Morris
It turned out so good; however the family needed red enchilada sauce. Made it even better.
Christopher Daugherty
This was awesome I did make a couple of changes though. I cooked the chicken in McCormicks Fajita Seasoning and chicken broth let the liquid reduce down to a quarter cup of rouex add to your enchilada filling. Substitute minced garlic with garlic powder and onions with onion powder since I didn’t have either on hand. Added 1/2 cup more of salsa Verde. These were gone my guys loved them. Served with Spanish Rice and refried beans. Will make again.
Kevin Coffey PhD
I’m rating this four instead of five stars, because the sauce needs to be doubled in my opinion. I added some cilantro on top.
Christina Casey
The flavor was great. This will definitely be added to my monthly menu from now on. I traded out flour tortillas for corn.
Stephen House
By far the easiest/best chicken enchilada recipe. I’ve made it dozens of times now by request from the fam
Judy Thomas
Gross! Just a weird combination of flavors. I’ve made it twice and tried different things, but each time it has not tasted good. Will not make it again.
