Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Recipes

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!

White beans, shredded chicken, green chile, sour cream and cheese. Need I say more? These have just the right amount of kick to them and hit the spot if you're craving Mexican food. They are high in fiber and so filling (one enchilada is a perfect serving size). The easiest way for me to make shredded chicken is in my crock pot. I let it cook all day while I'm at work, then I come home and shred it and freeze the broth for other recipes. Click here for the recipe. For other great enchilada recipes try my favorite Chicken Enchiladas with Red Enchilada Sauce, or Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas. Look for half point tortillas that are whole wheat and low carb such as La Tortilla Factory

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.

Creamy filling is interchangeable with cream cheese or sour cream.

To lower the fat content even more, use reduced fat cheddar cheese.

I use Nueva Concina Taco Seasoning - it's more authentic and less salty.

Healthier Version!

I've never met a person who doesn't love these!

Hearty and Filling dinner using lighter ingredients to bring down the calories and fat. (Not an everyday meal if you're trying to cut back on fat) One of my favorites that I hate to give up and treat myself with occasionally.

These creamy enchiladas, stuffed with chicken, onion, fat-free sour cream sauce, and green chiles, and topped with melted fat free cheese will turn dinner into Cinco de Mayo anyday!

I found this recipe in a Pilsbury cookbook, but I changed the cheese to reduced fat and did the same with the dip and got a much healthier version

I am this similar to the recipe on the can of Old El Paso Green Chili Sauce but I used half of the amount of sauce it called for. I was attempting to replicate the chicken enchiladas suizas at the local mexican place in town beucase my husband love them. You could use fat free cream cheese and reduced fat cheddar cheese

I saw a similar recipe in a Taste of Home magazine and got a little creative. I changed the soup to mushroom soup, added fresh mushrooms, omitted a few ingredients and used the crockpot! It smelled mouthwatering while cooking. Enjoy!

Boil chicken for 10-12 minutes, Remove from water and shred. In a bowl mix together shredded chicken, beans, olives, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream and taco seasoning.
