Chicken and Stuffing Enchiladas
From:  MaryMary
Ingredients:

Filling:
4
1 box
1/2
1 - 2
4 T
8 - 10
skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces
Stovetop Chicken flavored stuffing mix (6 oz)
onion, finely chopped. (to taste)
stalks celery, chopped
butter
tortillas

Sauce:
1 can
 
1/2 soup can
Cream of Celery soup
Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
milk
Procedure:

Filling:
1.  On medium heat saute the chicken onions and celery in the butter until the chicken is done but not browned.
2.  Add 1 2/3 cups of water and bring to the boil.
3.  Remove from heat and add the Stovetop stuffing mix.
4.  Stir and let cool.
5.  While this mixture is cooling prepare sauce.

Sauce:
6.  Use can to measure cheese, pack it tight.
7.  I have never used anything but Monterey jack cheese here the sharper the better.
The sauce is basically equal amounts of soup to cheese, however I like it a little bit thinner and add a little more than half a can of milk.
8.  Heat soup milk and cheese on medium heat till cheese is melted set aside.

Baking:
9.  Preheat oven to 350ºF.
10.  Spray a rectangular baking dish with Pam.
11.  Place 1/8 or 1/10 of chicken and stuffing filling onto a tortilla and roll it up placing it in the baking dish with the flap side down.
12.  Each enchilada is a serving (Or half a serving if you are hungry) so they should be fat. I find that about 10 will fit nicely into a 9" x 13" cake pan or 8 into my glass one. You'll need to experiment here.
13.  Cover with sauce, making sure that all the tortillas are completely covered so they don't dry out.
14.  Bake for about 1/2 an hour just to rewarm and set the sauce. The top should look very lightly golden brown.

This recipe works well with left over chicken and turkey too. We have made it that way and it is good, but I like it best when you start from scratch.

Eat and enjoy. This is just as good warmed up later and freezes well too.
