Chicken Enchiladas Recipes

Serve up creamy, cheesy chicken enchiladas, and no one will be late to dinner!

These are great with a side salad and extremely filling! The reason I call them leftover is because I use left over rotesrie chicken.

My favorite dish at a local Mexican restaurant is their Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Chile Sauce. I had to try and find a way to lower the fat and sodium so I could enjoy these without the guilt! I tweaked that recipe a bit to lower the sodium and fat, and came up with a winner! My husband and teen daughter gobble these up!

i took this from allrecipes.com & tailored to fit our family. not really the healthiest but i'm sure there are ways to make it better for you.

we usually add shredded lettuce & tomatoes on top.

Made this with leftovers from the "crockpot sticky chicken"
This is one of my family's favorite recipes. It's high in sodium though! Hopefully I can get my hands on some low sodium enchilada sauce soon and re-do this.

This is great for leftover turkey also!

These chicken enchiladas are fast, easy to make, and pack a whopping 52 grams of muscle building protein!

Serve 'em to your friends at your next get together and listen to them rave about the goodness. They will never know they are easy on the waistline!

BTW - These taste even better as leftovers.

This is a big family favorite! Use fat free cheese to really bring the fat down. I was tempted to use corn tortillas, but they're not quite the same.

Serve with iceberg lettuce seasoned with a little vinegar, guacamole or avocado slices, and sour cream. Garnish with cilantro.

I found this recipe on a can of Cream of Chicken Soup. Of course I doctored it to fit my family and I. Oh My we LOVE IT!

Very simple & easy using rotisserie chicken. Even my son, who is a very picky eater ate them and asked for more the next night. We have this almost once a week now...a family favorite.

DELICOUS!!!!

Tasty way to eat your green leafy veggies

Easy to make, family loves it.

This recipe is fully credited to Gina's Skinny Recipes.

My girls love this! You can also use 10 oz chicken left-overs. I often use Cream of Chicken soup instead of the chicken gravy.

My family cant do spicy so these are very mild but have great flavor. My guy AND my kids ask for this dish a LOT. I originally got this out of a Taste of Home Annual Recipes cookbook but have since lost that cookbook so the recipe has been tweaked a little from what I can remember. To save even more calories you can use fat free sour cream, but I've found that makes the mixture a little runny for my taste. Prep time does not include boiling and cooling time for chicken as I usually do this ahead of time. These are also great to double the recipe and put one pan in the freezer for another night.

Low-fat chicken enchiladas made with mild green chiles and creamy, delicious chicken rolled in a fresh corn tortilla, smothered in smooth mild green chile enchilada sauce and sprinkled with cheese.

Honestly, this was a culinary adventure. I had frozen chicken. I had a sweet potato. I had made a salsa a day or two previously that I didn't really feel like eating with chips. I had found some corn tortillas that needed to be used. What to do, what to do...
You will see the final assembling ingredients in the photo. Whereas the wine is fully optional, what you can't see (or hear), listening to cumbia/merengue/salsa/reggaeton while cooking is HIGHLY recommended.
Please modify as you see fit, with what you have on hand, and ENJOY!

Recipe is from Cooking Light. If you like spicier, add another jalepeno and even serrano chiles. I use fresh peppers/chiles. If you don't like spicy, take the jalepeno out altogether or reduce to one.

These are healthy and yummy. I had them at a restaurant in Chelsea NY- very culinary restaurant style dish - and healthy!

Easy Chicken Enchiladas made with Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

Delicious and filling chicken enchilada recipe with a little spice.
Using a rotisserie chicken makes preparing it quick. Serve with a large salad on the side to keep calories down.

I usually make this with all Trader Joe's ingredients - including TJ's Red Enchilda sauce. Serve with a side of black beans, chopped romaine lettuce for a yummy weeknight meal.

These are quite filling at 209 calories each. The wrap-itz are pretty large, so they make a nice portion. They are also loaded with fiber. Great with a side of re-fried beans and a salad. I serve them with a dollop of low fat sour cream and salsa on the side. You could substitute fat-free cheeses for less calories, but that stuff doesn't tend to melt very well.
