The Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

I grew up eating my mom's layered chicken enchilada casseroles made with canned sauce and tons of sour cream. While i've still got a soft spot in my heart for that dish, this version, with its smoky charred poblano salsa, tender braised chicken thighs, and moderate use of cream and cheese, is its more sophisticated, grown up cousin.
