Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
"I found this recipe in the weekly issue of American Profile. I couldn't find a recipe like this here on Recipe Zaar. A lot of similar ones and I have one in my cookbooks, but I wanted to add this one. The directions call for reduced fat or light but of course I didn't do that(cause we just don't do that in our house). I would put more in each tortilla as there was too much remaining sauce. Also didn't add the jalapeno peppers in recipe for my 6 year old. My husband and just add them to top of enchilada before eating. I also cut back on the fresh cilantro. :) I also added a bit more chicken. I buy the pre packaged chicken in the lunch meat isle."

We absolutely love thids Enchiladas dish. Perfect in every way and I would not change a thing. Can't wait to make it again. Thanks for sharing it, Marykaia. C -
These are very good, probably kids love them, as they are very family-style! Made as directed. For our tastes (no kids) I would cut back to 1 can of soup and fill the empty can with low-sodium chicken stock and add that. Thanks, marykaia! Made for PAC Fall 2009.
