Easy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1.75 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 0.5 pint sour cream
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 0.33 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water
• 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 (12 ounce) jar taco sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and slice into bite-sized pieces, then return it to the skillet.
3. Add onion, 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, oregano, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir over low heat until the cheese is melted. Then, add tomato sauce, green pepper, garlic, chili powder, and salt. Add water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
4. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll them tightly. Arrange the enchiladas in a 9x13 inch baking dish, seam-side down.
5. Evenly spread taco sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade chicken enchiladas!
