chicken enchiladas

Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast          
1 chopped onion
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded taco blend cheese
1 T dried parsley
1/2 t dried oregano
1/2 t blk pepper (I only use a pinch)
15 ounce can enchilada sauce
1 t chili powder
1/2 can green chilies
1 clove garlic, minced
8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
12 ounce jar taco sauce
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook chicken until no longer pink and juices run clear. Drain excess fat. Cube the chicken and return it to the skillet. Add the onion, sour cream, taco blend cheese, parsley, oregano and ground black pepper. Heat until cheese melts. Stir in salt, enchilada sauce, chili powder, green pepper and garlic.
Roll even amounts of the mixture in the tortillas. Arrange in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with taco sauce and 3/4 cup cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serves 8
Enjoy!
The chicken becomes shredded during the mixing which I prefer and so do the kids. :)
