My brother-in-law makes these all the time. His 5 year old daughter does everything but the grilling of the chicken so you know they are easy to make. I love one dish meals, especially with alot of yummy cheese so you gotta know I needed this recipe! I use the Tyson chicken strips that are precooked since I don’t have alot of time to prep and they are just as good as his. You can find the Tyson strips in the aisle with the prepacked bacon at your local market. Once you give these a try you will want to make them often. Your family will thank you!

February 6, 2018 at 8:31 AMThis sounds like some cheesy comfort food. I love how quick and simple it is with the use of pre-cooked chicken and canned soup
Marilyn
February 6, 2018 at 8:46 AMThis dish definitely looks like it takes longer to make than it really does. I love it! Thanks Patrick. Enjoy your week.
Fabiola Rodriguez
February 5, 2018 at 5:03 PMSounds like my kids would like this! But I feel like I really need to add salsa to this somehow.
I’ll be pinning and tweeting this recipe. Greetings from the Inspire Me Monday linky!
Marilyn
February 5, 2018 at 5:16 PMThe addition of slasa sound great! I am thinking adding it to the chicken strips mixture?? My kids would love it. Have a great week.
Louise+(Cooking+with+Kids)
February 5, 2018 at 4:16 PMThese look great too! Two of my kids are fussy about fajitas when I make them but I think they would eat these. Thanks for sharing
Marilyn
February 5, 2018 at 4:28 PMThanks Louise. I have found in my home anything that has cheese running all over it gets gobbled down. They love cheesy broccoli and cauliflower too! Have a great week.

🙂 gwingal
Marilyn
January 31, 2018 at 12:09 PMThis is so easy. Especially when you buy the dairy ready done chicken. I love the options. Thanks for the pin! Have a great week!
Patricia M. Blask
June 11, 2017 at 5:23 PMI have made these for years for my family, they are are favorite. Recently due to hubby getting a quadruple bypass I had to rethink old recipes, and switch up ingredients. One thing I have done is exchange plain no fat Greek yogurt for sour cream in this recipe. (And in most others as well) I’ve always used cream of mushroom soup, just personal preference. Thanks for posting this though, I had lost my recipe card which had the amounts of ingredients and time on oven. I really didn’t feel like winging it tonight!
Marilyn
July 30, 2017 at 10:30 AMSorry to hear about your husband. I have used Greek yogurt in the Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas and it has worked very well. Thx for visiting. Have a good week!
Sue

Marilyn Lesniak
April 20, 2016 at 2:10 PMWhat a sweet compliment April! Thank you for sharing that.
Cheryl Newton
June 16, 2015 at 6:01 PMYum, yum, yum. But I have 1 question: how much flour? It’s mentioned in the instructions, but not listed in the ingredients. Thanks!
Marilyn Lesniak
April 20, 2016 at 2:09 PMCheryl! So glad you noticed! It is a typo. I must have been thinking ahead to flour tortilla and didn’t catch it. You get a cookie! There is no flour in this recipe. I am fixing it now. Thanks for catching it. My original hand written instructions had it too.
