Simple Sour Cream Enchiladas

Okay, I’ll admit it. I haven’t “actually” tried this recipe (it’s on my ever-growing list of recipes to try). BUT, the list of ingredients is similar to that of the Chicken & Cream Cheese Casserole Adrie & Josh love so much (except it uses sour cream instead of cream cheese). It looks DELISH! Centsational Girl provides a fully illustrated how-to on her blog. Check it out here!

Also, if you haven’t tried the aforementioned Chicken & Cream Cheese Casserole, feel free to email me & I’ll send it to you (I can’t post it here unfortunately because it’s copywrited, sorry).

**UPDATE**

So, I tried the recipe tonight. In a word, yum! This made enough to fill an entire 9x13'” pan as well as an 8x8” pan, so keep that in mind when you make it…you may need to half the recipe. Also, next time I make this, I’ll probably just dice the chicken because, let’s face it, shredding chicken sucks.bigtime. And canned chicken…also.sucks.bigtime. ;)

If you wanted to give this recipe a little extra “something,” I think a little lime and cilantro would be fantastic. Just fyi.

Chicken Enchilada Soup

Total cook time: 1 hour
3 chicken breasts
1/2 cup diced onion
1 clove galic, pressed
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup masa harina (corn flour)
3 cups water
1 cup enchilada sauce
16 oz. Velveeta
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
Garnish: shredded cheese, crumbled or shredded corn tortilla chips, pico de gallo

In a large pot, cook chicken breasts until browned and set aside to cool. In the same pot, saute onions and garlic for approximately 2 minutes or until onions begin to become translucent. Add chicken broth. In a medium bowl, combine masa harina with 2 cups of water and whisk until blended. Add masa mixture in pot of broth. Add remaining water, enchilada sauce, velveeta, and spices to pot and bring to a boil. Shred chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and add into pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until thick.

Serve in bowls or large cups, garnish with shredded cheese, pico de gallo, and top with tortilla chips.
