Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas are a celebration of creamy comfort and bold Southwestern flavor. Tender shredded chicken is wrapped in soft tortillas, smothered with a tangy green chili sauce, and finished with a generous layer of melted cheese. The result is a dish that’s rich, satisfying, and wonderfully aromatic—perfect for busy weeknights or whenever you crave classic enchilada goodness.
The filling is simple yet packed with flavor. A blend of shredded chicken, diced green chiles, spices, and cheese creates a hearty center that stays moist and flavorful during baking. The combination of cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder adds warmth and depth, while the green chiles bring just the right touch of spice.
What makes these enchiladas exceptionally creamy is the sauce. Mixing the remaining enchilada sauce with sour cream creates a silky, tangy layer that coats every tortilla. As the enchiladas bake, this sauce bubbles around the edges and melds beautifully with the melted cheese on top, giving you that irresistible golden finish.
