<p> One of our favorite meals is this colorful dish with its creamy chicken and spinach enchilada filling which is wrapped up in flour tortillas and baked. The best part is all of the fresh toppings added after the enchiladas come out of the oven. Serve with rice and you have a delicious made-from-scratch meal!</p>

<p>This is a plain/no toppings photo of this chicken and spinach enchilada recipe and please excuse the low-quality iPhone photo above, it was taken on one of my recipe testing days :) This recipe makes a lot of chicken and spinach sauce but I like to add what’s leftover across the top of the enchiladas before baking, along with some shredded cheese. I have made them without the sauce on top but with enchilada sauce or salsa verde but, the sauce on top is the best by far :)</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading is-style-script-text has-black-color has-text-color" id="h-what-the-creamy-chicken-and-spinach-filling-consists-of">What The Creamy Chicken and Spinach Filling Consists Of…</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Onions-Small to medium, chopped</li>



<li>Green Chiles-The Fire Roasted reen Chiles from Trader Joes are good in this!</li>



<li>Garlic-Minced. </li>



<li>Chopped Cooked Chicken-I use a rotisserie chicken, usually one breast and thigh is enough.</li>



<li>Heavy Cream-This is the magic ingredient in this creamy sauce!</li>



<li>Flour-Just a tablespoon or two to thicken the sauce.</li>



<li>Fresh Spinach-Just let it wilt into the finished sauce.</li>



<li>Chicken-Rotisserie chicken works great!</li>



<li>Cheese-I used a combination of shredded Monterrey Jack &; Quesadilla that can be found in the Mexican food section at<a href="https://www.walmart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Walmart</a> grocery stores. Mozzarella cheese can be used instead.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-script-text" id="h-do-the-enchiladas-freeze-well">Do The Enchiladas Freeze Well?</h3>



<p>I freeze the chicken and spinach filling in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge and stir well before/while heating, add chicken broth as needed to thin it out. And then add to the tortillas as usual. This makes a great make-ahead freezer meal!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-script-text" id="h-what-are-the-optional-toppings">What are the optional toppings?</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Iceburg Lettuce, shredded</li>



<li>Tomatoes, chopped</li>



<li>Avocados, chopped</li>



<li>Extra spinach, shredded</li>



<li>Sour cream is not shown but we usually add it. Plain greek yogurt can be substituted for the sour cream.</li>



<li>Quesadilla cheese</li>



<li>A squeeze of lime juice</li>



<li>Fresh Cilantro</li>
</ul>
