One Pan Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada Skillet

This was a nice quick and easy meal.  With the corn tortilla it reminded me of a type of chicken and dumplings.  I guess it could be Mexican chicken and dumplings.  I know it calls it a skillet but I used a pot.  I tend to make a mess stirring when I use a skillet that is full.  This was another quick and easy meal that you can add to your rotation.

I forgot to take a picture of the plate after it has been dished up.  When you serve this add a little extra cheese on top.  You can also add a little cilantro too.

The only thing you might need to pick up for this recipe is the corn tortillas.  The rest I know I keep in the pantry.

Start by adding 3 Tablespoons butter and 3 Tablespoons flour to the pan.  Melt the butter and whisk until all the flour lumps are gone.

Measure out 2 cups chicken broth.  Which is one small can.  I really do not like the smell of chicken broth.

Your roux is ready.

Add the broth.

Whisk until smooth.

Now I did this a little differently that the recipe called for.  You were to put your whole chicken breast in and let them cook in the broth. I cut my chicken up into pieces so it would cook quicker.  Then after it is cooked You will shred it so don't worry.

Measure out 1 cup sour cream

1/4 teaspoon oregano

1/8 teaspoon chipotle chili powder.  If you do not have this you can use regular chili powder and add just a little bit more.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

4 oz can of green chilies

Cut up 12 corn tortillas

Then take the chicken out and shred it.

I took it out and put it on a plate.

Then put the chicken back in the pot.

Add the sour cream

green chilies

The tortilla pieces

Stir well and let the tortillas get hot.

Add 1-2 cups shredded cheese.  Save some for the top.

Stir until the cheese is melted.

This was leftovers that the husband was taking in to work the next day.  Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the plates.  This was not a spicy dish at all more of a comfort food.
