I’m a college student and trying to get rid of the "freshman 15" and when my mom was on Weight Watchers when I was a kid there was this chicken enchilada recipe I just loved. All we can remember about it was that it was a sour cream and cream of mushroom soup base, and there was a can of green chiles in it. We dont have the recipe because we lost all our old recipes in Katrina. Any help?

The problem I think you might be having with finding this is that Cream of Mushroom Soup is not all that healthy for you and neither is sour cream but here is link for a recipe that sounds like what you’re looking for… http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chicken-Enchiladas-II/Detail.aspx
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast meat
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
6 (12 inch) flour tortillas
1/4 cup milk
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the green onion until tender (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add the garlic powder, then stir in the green chiles, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Mix well. Reserve 3/4 of this sauce and set aside. To the remaining 1/4 of the sauce in the saucepan, add the chicken and 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Stir together.
Fill each flour tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl combine the reserved 3/4 of the sauce with the milk. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
I guess you could replace the butter with margarine, use low fat or fat free cheese, and low fat or fat free sour cream…that would definatly cut out a lot of fat and calories!
Good Luck and I hope this helps!!!
