For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a spicier dish, use hot green chiles or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the cream sauce. Leftover enchiladas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Dec 2, 2024The sauce was a little too rich for my taste, so I used low-fat cream of chicken soup and skim milk instead of half-and-half. It turned out great!
