Lowfat Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

These were wonderful!!!
I like them better then enchiladas made
with red sauce.  And I tried to make them
as healthy as possible.

Recipe:
2 boneless/skinless chicken breast
1 can of low fat cheese soup
2 cans of low fat/reduced sodium cream of chicken soup
1/2 onion-minced
1 glove garlic-minced
1 1/2 packets taco seasoning (about 6 tablespoons)
1 cup of skim milk
2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
8 tortillas(flour or wheat)
1 teaspoon olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
In a large skillet, heat oil and saute onion and garlic, add in chicken and
shred as you cook. Next add in 1 can of cream of chicken soup and 2 tablespoons of
the cheese soup and 1/2 of milk, and 1/2 a packet of taco
seasoning,  mix well and bring to a boil.
Once mixed well and thickened remove from heat.
Now assemble your enchiladas, by place 2-3 tablespoons of
chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla and tightly roll up and
place seam side down in the baking pan. Continue until
all meat is used.
Finally in the same pan add the remaining soups,milk and the whole packet
of taco seasoning and bring a boil. Remove from heat and
pour over the enchiladas in the baking pan. Top with shredded
cheese and bake covered for 45minutes. Let stand
10 minutes before removing from pan.
Serve with salsa and cream cheese.

Hope you all try these and enjoy them.

* If preparing ahead to freeze, prepare
as above and the day before baking remove from
freezer and let thaw over night in the refrigerator.
