Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas is a recipe ….that was given to me by my friend in the Pacific Northwest!

Yes, really…I am sure you thought I was going to say from New Mexico, because after living there for so many years, …I have posted many Mexican, Tex-Mex and other truly original Southwest recipes.

However, this recipe comes from my yodeling friend in Seattle… via a friend of hers, Katie Butler.

You knew I was going to have a special name for this friend, didn’t you? 😉

I just love giving my friends special names, plus it helps you, my readers to keep all the players straight! Right? 

Plus,…. my yodeling friend really does yodel…and she does it well, although she is not from Europe but she does sing country and western songs. 😉  

I personally, don’t know her friend, Katie Butler, but I did make her recipe and it is a great “go-to” meal in one….and simply delicious.

Katie roasted her chicken, but I bought one at the deli….saves a lot of time and let’s face it….they are good and it doesn’t hurt to have a little help in the kitchen.

I actually saved a little chicken to make chicken salad sandwiches….so I got two meals for the price of one. 😉

And that is always a good thing.

Please try Katie’s recipe and let me know your thoughts.

Have a great day and thank you my yodeling friend in Seattle….and a special thank you to your friend Katie Butler.

I made this recipe following Katie's instructions and it turned out beautifully. I added chopped cilantro to the top after baking as a garnish, but that is optional.
