Then I tasted the chicken filling and saw the tempting bubbling, cheesy finished product and it struck me that it would be cruel to keep this recipe from you.

How could I not share these creamy & comforting enchiladas with my dear readers?!

I think you’re going to love these.

John and I certainly did.

The filling is comprised of succulent poached & pulled chicken stirred into a flavorful mixture of sauteed onions, garlic, chopped green chiles, salsa, and spices. A bit of neufchatel cream cheese adds a gloriously thick consistency and rich flavor to the filling, which is stuffed into flour tortillas, smothered in a creamy enchilada sauce, and finished off with a scattering of cheese before being baked to gooey perfection.

A dollop of tangy Greek yogurt, a few sprigs of fresh cilantro, and an extra spoonful of salsa seal the deal.

All that’s missing is some guacamole!
