Chicken & Cream Cheese Enchiladas

I learned the recipe for Chicken & Cream Cheese Enchiladas from a friend when were stationed in New York years ago. It’s creamy, cheesy, and a very filling dish. It is also sooooo good that even though you’re telling yourself 1 piece is enough you can’t help but go for another one. You can make the usual Mexican side items to go along with the Enchiladas but trust me, you don’t even need them at all. These Enchiladas will suffice and satisfy as is.
