Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

High protein, creamy, cheesy, and low calorie chicken enchiladas! This recipe is a single serving, but feel free to double or even triple it!

I have been making this little enchilada dishes for a year now and I think I finally perfected it! I love making these single servings so they are nice and fresh. They can definitely be made in bulk as well I just find myself throwing them away because my mom is a vegetarian so I am the only one that eats them!

The addition that perfected this dish was more cheese (lol are you surprised) and more sauce! I always use EXTRA thin mission tortillas for my enchiladas. They are super good and only 120 calories for 3 of them! I can usually find these at any of my local grocery stores. Additionally, I usually use the Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce, but any enchilada sauce will do! There is a lot more that goes into the dish but the assembly is actually super easy!

For this recipe I usually use my crock pot pulled chicken or Honey Cilantro Chicken. Frankly, I even use ground turkey sometimes too!

How To Make Creamy Chicken Enchiladas:

1. Start by thawing out your corn tortillas if you freeze them like I do!
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
3. Combine the shredded chicken, salsa verde, cumin, and whipped cream cheese in a bowl
4. Line a small rectangle dish – I use a 7×5 Pyrex dish – with a little enchilada sauce
5. Lay out your corn tortillas, fill evenly with chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam down in your pyrex dish.
6. Top with more enchilada sauce, fat free cheese, and pickled jalapeños.
7. Cover and bake for 20 minutes
8. Allow to cool and enjoy.

This meal has become one of my go-to dinners. It is single serve so it does not require any prep, and if you wanted to prep it you could make it in a big dish for the whole family! But it is super easy, and for the macros you can’t beat it!
