Quick Easy Chicken Enchiladas: Just 5 ingredients come together quickly for a restaurant worthy meal you will serve over and over! Also a low carb casserole version!
My teenager heartily approved of these Quick Easy Chicken Enchiladas by saying, “It seems like we are eating in a restaurant”. I will take that to mean they are good! They ARE good.
They are a good blend of shredded chicken, cheeses and a green chili sauce. I take a big short cut here and use canned sauce and chicken (unless I have some leftover to use up and then it is still easy). That makes it so simple to mix together and bake.
We use the large size soft tortillas and they are very loaded with chicken and cheese inside so each is 2 servings.
Also try Quick Easy Beef Enchiladas, much like these but with ground beef and red enchilada sauce.

Low Carb Options:
If you would like a low carb version of this recipe, check out Chicken Enchilada Casserole. It is one of my most popular recipes!
You could also simply use low carb tortillas if you are not sensitive to wheat products. These are only 6 net carbs and worked very well.

Ingredients:
soft flour tortilla wraps
cooked chicken
cream cheese
cheddar cheese divided
green chili enchilada sauce
sour cream for topping, optional
Directions:
Gather your ingredients
Soften cream cheese in microwave for about 30 seconds. It does not have to be melted, just soft enough to stir chicken and cheese into.
Stir 2 oz of shredded cheese and chicken into cream cheese and stir to blend well.
Spread 1/8th on each wrap.
Fold wraps.
Place in greased baking dish.
Cover with enchilada sauce and rest of cheese.
Bake in preheated 350* oven for 25 minutes and then broil for 2-3 minutes until top is nicely browned.
**Please note that it is not safe to broil in a Pyrex or glass dish–IT COULD SHATTER! If you want the cheese toasted, use a broiler safe pan to do this step.
