I loved chicken enchiladas, but I’m not a crazy fan of the enchiladas red sauce. Sometimes for me, the red sauce can be so overwhelming in taste that I can’t taste the other flavors in the platter. And my acid reflux sometimes goes against anything red. Discovering this recipe was a gift from heaven, a light-tasting sour cream sauce with a bit of heat from the green chilies.

Notes:
There are a few methods you can cook chicken for this recipe. Inside the oven, you can roast a few chicken pieces. Add and drizzle a little bit of olive oil over them and season with salt and pepper and cook for 35-45 minutes.
For this, you can use corn tortillas, but I find flour tortillas rolling up easier without tearing like corn tortillas.
