Crack Chicken Enchiladas Recipe - these enchiladas are seriously delicious. Tortillas stuffed with tender chicken, creamy ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon. Top them with a luscious sour cream enchilada sauce for the ultimate Tex-Mex experience. Perfect for a weeknight fiesta or family dinner, this dish is a crowd-pleaser that'll have everyone asking for seconds.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
Combine chicken, ranch dressing, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon in a large bowl.
Divide the chicken mixture between the tortillas. Place the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up in tortillas and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Allow the sauce to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, taco seasoning, and green chilies.
Pour sauce over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
Bake 20-25 minutes and then broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese.
You can use any cooked chopped chicken you have on hand.
Chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chicken tenderloins, or canned chicken.
I like to use low-carb flour tortillas.
You can use corn tortillas.
I use precooked bacon to cut down on the prep time.
You can substitute turkey bacon for the pork bacon.

Can I freeze White Chicken Enchiladas? The sour cream enchilada sauce doesn’t freeze well. The texture changes after being in the freezer. I suggest freezing the filled tortillas and adding the sauce before baking.
Fill the tortillas and place them in a casserole dish. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 4 months.
When ready to bake, thaw the enchiladas and prepare the sauce. Bake as directed.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
