Smothered in sauce, covered with ooey, gooey cheese, and stuffed to the max with chopped chicken, these enchiladas are sure to become a family-favorite. The velvety-smooth, 3-ingredient sauce is simple to make and comes together in just 2 minutes in the microwave. To save time, use 4.5-ounces of leftover baked chicken instead of cooking the chicken the night you bake the enchiladas. Serve with spicy or mild salsa depending on your heat preference and pair with a garden salad to round out your meal. For a pop of bright color, sprinkle each serving with fresh chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and scallions if you’d like.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
