One Pan Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

We are in the creamy, comfort food mode right now. Chicken Enchilada Verde the other night and One Pan Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada last night. Our life is out of control right now. It seems all I am doing is getting in a car and dropping one person off and running the the next spot to pick another one up all day long. We have eaten more food out lately than I care to admit. We actually cooked a turkey the other night just so I could have cooked meat to have for the rest of the week to make sandwiches and other dishes. Hopefully life will calm down soon.

Verdict:

This was exactly what we needed. It had a nice creamy sauce and a delicious flavor. It can be made in one pan so there is not a ton of clean.
