Description

Delicious chicken enchiladas filled with shredded chicken and topped with a creamy white sauce made from Greek yogurt, delivering 38 grams of protein per serving.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll them tightly, placing them seam-side down in a baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and olive oil to create the dreamy white sauce.
  5. Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the sauce.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the enchiladas are bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Notes

Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time. Let the enchiladas rest before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
