Description

These Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream White Sauce are creamy, cheesy, and comfort-packed. Shredded chicken wrapped in soft tortillas gets smothered in a rich sour cream and green chili sauce, then baked until bubbly. A family-friendly favorite that’s just as good for entertaining as it is for a weeknight meal.
