Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

My friend Bea, recently mentioned that her husband had made their favorite Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada recipe, and I asked her if it was a good one. She said that it's the only one that she has ever used, and it came from a neighbor who had shared it in a cookbook.

Yield: 20 enchiladas

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

I happen to love sour cream chicken enchiladas, and have always searched for a great recipe. I think I found it!!

Ingredients:

1 chicken, cooked, boned, and cut into bite sized pieces (see Note)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream
1 cup chicken broth
2 cans chopped green chilies
1 pkg. flour tortillas (mine had 20 and I used all of them)
1 lb. grated Jack cheese ( I used a Mexican cheese blend)

Instructions:

Mix the soup, sour cream, broth, and green chilies. Warm the mixture slightly.
Place chicken in the middle of the tortillas (I actually place it towards one end). Add a spoon of sauce, and then a sprinkle of cheese. Roll the tortilla and place in a buttered 9 x 13" pan (I used three square pans).
When all tortillas have been used, cover with the remaining sauce and cheese. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly. This freezes well.

Notes:

I used a rotisserie chicken, but you could use 2 cooked breasts and a couple of cooked chicken thighs. Since the recipe freezes well, I put two pans in the freezer to use as needed.

Blueberry Streusel Pie

I've made us some favorite Blueberry pie for today and serving it with some blueberry tea that a friend brought from Canada last year. The lime hydrangea is my vase is from a plant that my daughter bought for me. Mary from Home Is Where The Boat Is

I love scenes on teacups and this was from a teacup exchange. The teacup is called Lakeview, and it's from Nasco, made in Japan.

Isn't this a pretty setting?

I crocheted two granny squares from leftover yarn that I had made a baby blanket from to make this tea cozy.

Yield: 6-8 slices
