Normally in our house, we eat enchiladas with red gravy sauce. I'll cook the chicken in the crock pot with a can of enchilada sauce on low for 4 hours, since mine cooks pretty fast. Then I'll take some flour tortillas, roll them up like a burrito with the chicken mixture in there, and bake them in the oven until the cheese melts. So good!
I wish I would have had a rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but we had just got 4 bags of frozen chicken breasts at the grocery store and our freezer is pretty full now. That would have made this recipe really easy. You don't even need to add the butter to this recipe if you want to make it really, really light. I admit, I didn't have light sour cream or a can of reduced fat cream of chicken soup when I made this. I did however have the reduced fat cheeses. They were really creamy and rich and now we have left overs for a day. Normally on Tuesday we go and get some cheap tacos but today, since it was kind of windy and almost about to storm outside, it was nice to stay home and bake something in the oven. It helps our house warm up faster. We shall see if we have to go to work tomorrow, depending on what this storm brings. 😉
