Green Chilies Chicken Enchiladas

This Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas recipe was a hit! Served with cilantro lime rice for a easy dinner. You can make your own enchilada sauce or use canned for convenience. I was able to make this recipe after getting off work one evening – so super simple! I was also able to use a couple of ingredients – cream of mushroom and enchilada sauce – we had in our pantry as part of our 2013 Pantry Challenge.

This recipe was part of the Del Monte Southwestern Tomato Kick-off Sweepstakes using the new Del Monte Petite Cut Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies. I use diced tomatoes in a ton of recipe and I love the convenience of these new Petite Cut Diced Tomatoes which pack huge flavor. Check out more recipe ideas on the Del Monte Pinterest board.
