Creamy Chicken and Collard Green Enchiladas is a creamy, hearty Mexican dish with some southern greens added in. These enchiladas make the perfect New Year’s Day meal since collard greens are supposed to bring prosperity in the New Year.

 
These Enchiladas with a southern twist are perfectly creamy and cheesy.
To make this recipe as easy as possible, I use a bag of frozen, chopped collard greens. This saves the time spent washing and chopping the collard greens. If you wish you can use fresh collard greens.

 
Four ounces of cream cheese makes the filling super creamy.
This recipe calls for 2 cups of cooked chicken. I typically use rotisserie chicken.

 
Pepper Jack cheese gives a little spice to these Creamy Chicken and Collard Green Enchiladas. I like to add sliced jalapenos (either fresh or pickled) on top for more heat.
 
The green chile enchilada sauce perfectly complements the chicken and collard greens. I use Frontera Green Chile Enchilada Sauce which comes in 8-ounce pouches. It should be easy to find with the Mexican foods at your local grocery store.
Once assembled, Creamy Chicken and Collard Greens Enchiladas only take 25 to 30 minutes to bake at which time they will be fabulously crispy and golden with tons of gooey, melted cheese.
