Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 6 flour tortillas
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (optional: chopped green onions and a 4 oz can of green chilies for added flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Baking Dish:
   Start by lightly greasing a large baking dish. This will ensure that your enchiladas come out easily and the cheese doesn’t stick to the bottom.

2. Make the Sauce:
   In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic powder to the melted butter and stir to combine. Next, stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Continue to cook until the mixture is well blended and heated through.

3. Reserve Part of the Sauce:
   Once the sauce is ready, reserve 3/4 of it in a separate bowl and set aside. This portion will be used later to pour over the enchiladas before baking.

4. Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
   To the remaining 1/4 of the sauce in the saucepan, add the shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to combine, allowing the chicken to be evenly coated with the creamy sauce mixture.

5. Assemble the Enchiladas:
   Place a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each flour tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly to encase the chicken mixture and place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

6. Add the Sauce:
   In a bowl, combine the reserved 3/4 of the sauce with the milk. Stir until well mixed. Spoon this creamy mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.

7. Top with Cheese:
   Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the sauce-covered tortillas.

8. Bake:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. The sauce should be hot and the edges of the tortillas slightly crispy.

9. Serve and Enjoy:
   Once baked to perfection, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. For extra flavor, you can sprinkle chopped green onions or add a can of green chilies to the sauce before baking.

Notes: Feel free to add additional toppings or sides such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. These Chicken Enchiladas are versatile and can be customized to suit your taste preferences.
