Love chicken enchiladas? Love sour cream enchiladas? Well today’s recipe for Creamy Chicken Enchiladas is a hybrid of the two.
These enchiladas have a nice creamy filling on the inside, but are bathed in that traditional red enchiladas sauce. I loved the results and so did my family.
This makes 10 enchiladas and they are divided between two 9 x 13 inch baking dishes. This gives the enchiladas room to breath allowing space in between each enchiladas. This helps reduce the tortilla from getting too soft in the baking process.

- 2 Tbsp butter
