Recipe View Rest and Garnish: Let the enchiladas stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh green onions and pico de gallo for an extra burst of flavor. (Rest time: 5-10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of diced green chilies to the chicken mixture.
To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, you can lightly grill or pan-fry them before filling.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or a Mexican blend.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute with half-and-half, although the sauce may be slightly thinner.
These enchiladas are also delicious made with leftover rotisserie chicken.

    I found the heavy cream made them a bit too rich for my taste, so I used half-and-half instead, and they were perfect!
