When I’m looking for a go to recipe for dinner, these Chicken Enchiladas are it! They are a family favorite.

Mom's Chicken Enchiladas- one of my favorite main dish recipes of all time. www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

Yep, another recipe from my mom’s kitchen. What can I say? I love her cooking. This one came from a friend of hers years and years ago (like maybe even 30+ yrs ago).
My daughter asks for it for her birthday dinner every year (my kids get to choose whatever they want for meals on their birthday.  My six year old chose sushi this year…..) and I prefer it over “traditional” enchiladas any day.

These aren’t traditional Chicken Enchiladas – they include a can of soup and a “white sauce.”  When I make them for friends or people who haven’t tried them before, they are caught off guard but always love them.

You can also make them ahead and then stick them in the oven when you’re ready to heat them up.  I’ve made a couple batches at a time and served them later.  They save really well.

While I like them as the recipe says, you can add all types of toppings – chopped up lettuce, tomato, sour cream, olives.

    Christina my husband doesn’t like tomatoes when they are chunky so I just blend the rotel or the salsa up first it gives it great flavor and hubby loves it! Thanks for an awesome recipe :)

    Can I take out the salsa or use something else instead of it?? My husband doesn’t like tomatoes so salsa is out.

    lol made this last night I use the mushroom soup in it though and for added kick you can put in jalapenos

    This recipe was so delicious. Literally the only thing I did was add jalapenos to the cheese sauce. This was about a million times better than the authentic with the red or green sauce. Creamy, cheesy, gooey. I’m gonna have leftovers for lunch!

    Slice some cold crunch iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and do some white rice with salt and lime for the side.

    Best enchiladas ever!

    Looks scrummy. As I’m in the UK, I’d like to ask what size (ml, oz, fl oz, g whatever) the can of soup is please? I can cope with cups, I have American and Canadian! I live with a Canadian. Thank you. Looking forward to trying this one.

      Suzanne, it is most likely a 10 3/4 oz can – that is standard size for Campbell’s cream soups.

    Can this be put together ahead of time and cooked later?

    I made these last night and they were a HUGE hit!! I did season the chicken with taco seasoning while it cooked, but otherwise followed your recipe to the letter ;-) Thank you for sharing. My family REALLY appreciated it.

    Looks delicious! This recipe reminds me of my mom’s recipe. In her recipe she uses Green chilies instead of salsa and flour tortillas.
