I grew up loving the chicken enchiladas that my mom made, but they are definitely not gluten-free or really all that healthy because of the cream of chicken soup. Green chili chicken enchiladasCanned chicken soup is not gluten-free and full of tons of other ingredients. I used to love the stuff until I stopped eating it and started making sauces from scratch, then I realized how disgusting canned soup is. I mean, I'm not even sure I would eat it if it would keep me from dying, which I highly doubt that the situation would even come up since it barely has nutritional value. I often make a simple white sauce for things like these, but I wanted to make it even easier and creamier for you, so you don't have to make a complicated sauce. I also love how there are white beans in these, so there is something inside the tortillas besides just chicken and sauce. The white beans not only add texture and volume, but they also add a healthy, low-fat protein and make them more like beef enchiladas. I'm not sure why my mom's recipe didn't have them, cause it just makes sense that they should have them if you ask me. They are great for a simple dinner and provide a great leftover meal. I'm not normally a big fan of leftovers, but I swear these taste better the second night cause the creamy sauce melds into the tortillas and the green chili flavor spreads throughout the sauce so they are even more flavorful.These are really good to have fun making with your children and getting an assembly line going with everyone helping with a part of putting these together. Plus, I don't know what it is about helping, but whenever my children help make dinner they are always way more excited about eating it.Please let me know if you try these and what you think!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrintRecipeclock clock iconcutlery cutlery iconflag flag iconfolder folder iconinstagram instagram iconpinterest pinterest iconfacebook facebook iconprint print iconsquares squares iconheart heart iconheart solid heart solid icon\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGreen Chili Chicken Enchiladas\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 Star\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.9 from 34 reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAuthor: Rebecca Baron\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrep Time: 30 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCook Time: 40 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTotal Time: 70 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYield: 8 1x\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCategory: Main Course\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCuisine: Gluten-Free\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrint Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSave Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\tRecipe Saved\t(function(){\tfunction ensureSlickstream() {\t\treturn new Promise((resolve, reject) => {\t\t\tif (window.slickstream) {\t\t\t\tresolve(window.slickstream.v1);\t\t\t} else {\t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener('slickstream-ready', () => {\t\t\t\t\tresolve(window.slickstream.v1);\t\t\t\t});\t\t\t}\t\t});\t}\tfunction updateFavoriteButtonState() {\t\tensureSlickstream().then(function(slickstream) {\t\t\tvar isFavorite = slickstream.favorites.getState();\t\t\tdocument.querySelectorAll('.tasty-recipes-slickstream-button').forEach(function(el) {\t\t\t\tel.querySelector('.tasty-recipes-saved').style.display = isFavorite ? null : 'none';\t\t\t\tel.querySelector('.tasty-recipes-not-saved').style.display = isFavorite ?
