Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
These are, without question, the best best best best BEST chicken enchiladas ever. Ever! They are drizzled in a creamy, cheesy sauce and baked until golden and bubbly.
Creamy Chicken Enchiladas are one of my favorite meals ever! :)
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 tbsp butter or margarine
1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, drained
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, cut up and softened
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken breast
8 (8″) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 pint whipping cream
Directions…
Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9×13 baking dish with Pam. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add rotel and saute 1 min. Stir in cream cheese and chicken and cook, stirring constantly until cream cheese melts. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of chicken mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas and place seam side down in a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish.
Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese, and drizzle with whipping cream.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 min. Take off foil and cook for another 15 mins, or until top is golden brown.
Look at that bubbly cheesy goodness! :) One enchilada is plenty for one adult but these things are soooooooooo good I usually end up stuffing myself with two. I just cant help myself. :p
I got this recipe from one of my students in the recipe class I taught at the scrapbook store. She made it one night and brought it in for all of us. I was instantly hooked. Here’s the scrapbook page we made in her honor:
Try this one tonight! You won’t regret it :D

Do you get the whipping cream over by the milk? Thanks!
Found the whipping cream. Guess I have never used that stuff before. I am making this tonight. Can’t wait.
The new blog looks great. Girl, you are just too good! How in the world did you learn how to do all this?
Redo mine!! Please!!!! Pretty Please!!! :)
This new blog design is smoking hot…..it looks great. You are soooo talented in many fields. I would love some of this background paper for my card making and scrap booking. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing ! Becky : )
Love the new design!!! You are so creative and talented!!! I will definitely have to try your version of the chicken enchiladas. I have a recipe my hubby and I really enjoy, but we’re both fans of cheesy, creamy goodness….and this just looks fantastic!
You are really talented!! I have started stalking your blog :)

Yum! Will have to try this! Just don’t tell my husband that it has cream cheese in it!
Super blog design. Very fun!
I made these last night (so easy to make) and they were great! DH loved them. And bonus – they are even better warmed up. These will definitely make my “most favorite recipes” book.

Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
Thank you! What a great recipe. My family loved it!
I made this for my family “sunday dinner” along with spanish rice and refried beans..they LOVED It!!!

A+++++++++
These are perfect! Love em!
Amanda, these were awesome! I made them last night and Bill can’t wait to have them again! Thanks for such a great recipe.
I made these a couple of weeks ago and they were AWESOME!! My Hubby and I both loved them…I used canned chicken since I was pressed for time, and I added onion. The canned chicken worked out great. I’m gonna try and make it a little “healthier” next time. Thanks again for such great recipes!!!
This is one of my new favorite recipes- it is sooo yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe- it’s deeee-licious!
Hi! My name is Valerie- I found your website quite awhile ago when I was organizing my scraproom. I did a google search along the lines of scraprooms, and yours popped up! First of all, great room, and second, I have enjoyed coming back! My husband and I tried this recipe last week, and it’s wonderful! As someone else said, it’s even better reheated. I shared it with my work- several people copied it and took it home, and my boss has since made it, and they loved it, too! Thanks for sharing. It’s always great to have a new recipe! (I’m hoping to have the time to make the pulled pork someday!)
I love your enchiladas! They are the best I’ve ever had, and I am an enchilada freak! I’ve had them made many different ways. My daughter and husband love this recipe as well. I even made them for my daughter’s 13th birthday party last weekend and everyone was asking me for the recipe. It was easy to give them because I just forwarded them your blog with the recipe! I hope you don’t mind. Once again, great job on this recipe and thank you!!!
I am sitting here getting TONS of compliments from my family from this right now. Thank you so much, this recipe is one of my faves as of right now!
These were soooo good! Even DH loved them!! We will definitely be adding this to our regular recipe rotation. Thank you so much for sharing!!
This looks fantastic! Thanks for posting this!
I can’t wait to try this recipe. I have a similar one that omits the tomatoes and uses a can of chopped green chilies in with the chicken and cream cheese and a can of green chilie enchilada sauce on the top with the cheese. Yum!
This recipe (or at least a similar one) has been a favorite in my family for years. We always joke that it will take a year off your life each time you eat it, but everyone always agrees that it’s worth it. It’s a fantastic one!!
These are over the top! I can’t wait to make this! Glad I was forwarded your site by a friend.
OMG! these look soooo easy! i’m totally making them this week! yum! leftovers!
Amanda – you are amazing! You and Kevin are so cute, your website rocks, you’ve got the best handwriting fonts, and yummy recipies, too!!! I love these enchiladas, but I had one teeny question…. do you use the whole pint of whipping cream??
Thanks for all the inspiration!
The enchiladas are awesome.I could just tell by the ingredients ,I had to make them.Thank you !! Will make them again,soon..
okay i finally made them (been busy!) and i replaced the Rotel tomatoes and chilis (live in the u.k., don’t have’um here) with a jar of salsa. and i sprinkled some shredded cheese w/ the mix inside the tortilla before i rolled it up! (i love cheese!)
i’m so proud of myself!
thank you!
These were soo good! My husband said it was one of the best meals he had EVER had. I love your blog and am trying more recipes this week–I am sharing this one with my bloggie friends too if that is okay–I’ll put the link…I think you’ll be a frequent recipe source.
From the moment I saw the picture I knew I had to make these. They were wonderful! My family loved them. I added a can of green chiles to the meat mixture. Thanks!
These were yummy. I did a little variation with mine, I included a can of Cream of Chicken soup when I stirred in my cream cheese!
This recipe was extremely easy to make. My family enjoyed it. Next time I think I will add some corn or black beans and rice to it. Yummers!!! Thanks for posting with step by step pics. It makes it so much easier when shopping for ingredients in the store as well.
This is one of the best things I have ever made. Thank you so much for sharing it! I tried it a while back and just haven’t stopped thinking about it so I made it for Sunday night dinner for my mom and husband and they loved it. I love how easy your recipes are to read and the pictures. Your site is fantastic and the fonts are the best! Thanks for everything you have put into this site!
AMAZINGLY YUMMY!!!! My husband and kids all loved this….and believe me, my munchkins are very picky! LOVE the site. I’ve made more of your recipes than any in my numerous cookbooks cluttering my home! Thanks.
This recipe is GREAT! It has become a family favorite. They do make yummy leftovers.

I was looking for a receipe for the sauce for chicken enchiladas and I wanted to use heavy whipping cream and came across your wonderful creamy,bubbly,cheesey enchiladas, my family loved it and I have left overs which I can’t wait to eat today for lunch. Thank you for sharing! :-D
I really liked these enchiladas. I made them last night and i think they are even better the 2nd day.
These were delicious! A definite re-make at our home. I can’t say that about very many recipes lately! The only thing I will change is I will cut up the Rotel tomatoes first next time. We aren’t big on cooked tomatoes and the chunks grossed me out so I picked around them. Thanks Amanda!! Going to try your bacon cheeseburger chicken sometime this week. Take care!
I´ll try the enchiladas, they look just “yummy, yummy” thanks for the info
Do you whip the whipping cream first??
My husband and I tried this recipe last night and they were great!! I also posted it in my new blog post! :)
Yummiest enchiladas ever.The mix of green chiles and cream cheese was FANTASTIC. I think I may have started a war at my boyfriends house between who gets the last ones lol. They taste wonderful with spanish rice made using chicken broth and green enchilada sauce instead of tomato and h2o.
Thanks for posting the recipe!
This was delicious!!! My husband loved it and the leftovers are great too. Thanks so much. Found another recipe I want to try later this week!!!
I make a very similar version…but with canned chili peppers (diced) and 1 chipotle pepper (in adobe sauce). This has HEAT! But…before you roll the enchiladas…submerse each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds in Chicken broth…makes the tortillas oh so soft!!!! Great Recipes!!
