Try This Easy Chicken Enchilada Recipe
Arguably, the best part of visiting your parents as a self-sufficient adult is being able to free yourself from many day-to-day responsibilities while you are there, such as cooking and cleaning. Last week I went home to visit my parents, and it is safe to say I took full advantage of this underrated adulting perk. Like a genie in a bottle, my wish was their command. One of my wishes last week was to have chicken enchiladas, a favorite childhood meal of mine, and just like Aladdin, my wish was granted. It had been a while since my mom had made this meal for me, and I had almost forgotten how much I loved it. Only this time, I was sure to get the recipe so I could make it for myself once I returned to the land of self-sufficiency.
In addition to being a quick and easy recipe to make, and not requiring an excessive amount of ingredients, there are often leftovers for another meal or two. Even though I have a strange opposition toward leftovers, I think in this case, the leftovers might just be better than when it’s fresh. Above all else, these simple chicken enchiladas are superbly delicious. The sour cream-to-cheese ratio achieves just the right amount of creaminess; my mouth is watering just writing about it. If you are looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, then look no further. How the tables have turned! Your wish is now my command.
Servings: 4 people | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 8 flour tortillas, soft taco size
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1, 4 oz. can diced green chilies
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Coat a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.
- Mix shredded chicken and one cup of cheese. Roll up in tortillas and place in pan (seam side down).
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for one minute. Add chicken broth and whisk until smooth. Allow sauce to thicken, then remove from heat and stir in sour cream and green chilies.
- Pour sauce over enchiladas, and top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, then broil for about 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
*I like to top mine with salsa and sliced avocado for some extra flavor, but these are also great served with rice on the side as well.

In 2022, Santa hats are out. Silly turkey hats are in.
I was on Amazon looking for things to do over Thanksgiving with relatives (eventually landing on the brand new game Christmas Categories) when I came across this:
Kangaroo Plush Thanksgiving Day Roasted Turkey Hat Tan — $8.95
My first thought was that it creates the perfect opportunity for someone in the family to recreate the classic Monica turkey head scene from Friends:
Then I realized that there are many ways you can have fun with the turkey hat Thanksgiving. When you play games, you can decide in advance that the loser has to wear the turkey hat. Or perhaps you can start a tradition that whoever carves the turkey each year gets to wear the turkey hat. The possibilities are endless!
No matter how you are spending the holiday this year (with funny turkey hat, or sans funny turkey hat), the We Know Products team wishes you a very happy Thanksgiving!
If you go on Amazon and search for “handheld massager,” you will find dozens and dozens of clones of the same $100 massage gun. My immediate reaction upon seeing this was that there is no longer any innovation in the massager industry. Instead of actually investing in R&D to come up with more advanced ways to help customers, massager companies seem content to copy one another and compete on price.
One company gives me hope. That company is NAIPO, a well-known massager brand whose stated mission is to help people all over the world “Find Well-being.” NAIPO’s latest handheld massager features a brand new design that provides added value for the user. While it is still a percussion massager, its sleek comfort-grip handle grants access to otherwise inaccessible areas of the body. It also features 5 interchangeable massager heads so that you are able to treat each acupuncture point with the best possible massage.
This attention to detail creates a truly customizable experience. After a workout or just a long day at work, you can choose from 5 different speed levels and 5 different working modes, from gentle relaxation to vigorous, deep-tissue massage. By virtue of the extended front grip, you can give exactly the right type of massage to previously neglected muscles all over your body.
A common complaint about percussion massagers is the noise level that can make it awkward or even impossible to use in public. The new NAIPO handheld massager is different. Unlike its competitors, it provides amazing results with only a single massage head. This has the twin effect of reducing noise levels and making it lighter and therefore less unwieldy, a huge plus especially for older users.
The NAIPO XF-5120 handheld massager will be available for purchase soon, and at $52.99 it is inarguably cheaper than similar products on the market. You get your very own either at NAIPO’s own storefront on naipocare.com or on Walmart.com. Stay tuned for more updates!
