HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE

In a crockpot, place the chicken breasts and pour in a can of salsa verde.

Add water to the empty can of the salsa verder, then pour this into the pot.

Set to cook on medium heat for 4 hours.

Take the chicken out of the pot and shred using a fork, making sure to save the liquid it cooked in.

Mix a cup of sour cream with a can of cream chicken soup and the liquid from the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to get rid of the lumps. Into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, place half of the mixture. Set aside.

Place the shredded chicken on top of the flour tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly and lay it in the prepared pan, seam side down. Repeat with the rest of the 10 tortillas.

Over the tortillas, place the rest of the dour cream sauce and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Tent the dish with foil and place it in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes.
