Did you really think I would not post a Mexican recipe the day before one of my favorite holidays of the year?

Creamy, Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

Jump to Recipe

I mean do you know me at all? These Creamy Chicken Enchiladas have been on the blog for some time now. But let’s be honest if you have seen some of my older posts you might cringe at the pictures and therefore not make the food. So these little bad boys got a makeover.

Now my two most popular dishes on Hall Nesting are these Beef Enchiladas with Red Sauce and this Black Bean, Corn and Feta Dip. But if you are like me you might know someone who doesn’t eat beef (or anything other than chicken – cough cough Lindsay). So sometimes you need to have options at your Mexican fiestas.

Skip going out to eat and stay in tonight to make these Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

This weekend will be John Grayson’s third birthday party (cue the mom tears) and we are throwing him a little construction party. I was tempted to do a Cinco de Mayo party but looked and next year Cinco de Mayo will be on a Saturday. And it’s kind of become a tradition to do his party right before the Kentucky Derby…don’t ask me why.

These enchiladas are without a doubt are the best chicken enchiladas ever!

But I digress…like normal. I made a Frozen Cherry Margarita recently and thought about sharing that with yall until I realized I have a Summer Rose Sangria coming up in a few weeks and didn’t want to go overkill on the cocktails. I mean we do need to get ready for bikini season right? So I do have a few vegetable dishes and salads coming up to make up for all the cheesy goodness in these enchiladas.
