Meal Prep Tips:

✺ You can prepare chicken ahead of time for easy assembly the day of cooking or you could also pick up a rotisserie chicken to save some time, just add onions, enchilada sauce, and diced chilis before rolling in tortillas.

✺ This recipe includes instructions using an instant pot or crock pot but prepare chicken with any method you prefer!

✺ If you have a busy week you could prepare the dish, cover, and place in the fridge overnight to bake the next day.

WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

The number of enchiladas that this recipe makes will vary depending on the size of tortillas you choose and how full you fill them! For our family of four this will feed us for two nights if served with a vegetable and beans or rice. If served alone, this would only be enough for one meal.
