Directions

Cook the Chicken
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until no longer pink. Remove, chop into cubes, and return to the skillet.
Make the Filling
Add chopped onion, 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, oregano, and pepper to the chicken. Stir over low heat until the cheese melts. Mix in tomato sauce, green bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, and salt. Add water if the sauce is too thick.
Assemble the Enchiladas
Spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla and roll them up. Place seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Top and Bake
Pour taco sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup of cheese on top. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra sour cream, avocado slices, or chopped cilantro if desired.

Recipe Note

Helpful Tips & Variations

Make-Ahead: Assemble enchiladas the night before. Refrigerate and bake the next day—just add sauce and cheese before baking.
Freezer-Friendly: Freeze enchiladas before baking for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 10–15 minutes to cook time.
Add Heat: Toss in jalapeños or spicy salsa to the filling for a kick.
More Fillings: Add rice, beans, or corn to the chicken mixture for a heartier enchilada.
