I 'm looking for something lighter than the water, cumin, chili powder,
garlic powder stuff I use for beef ? Any compatible cream sauces?

My aunt's chicken enchiladas were and still are my favourite food of
all time (relax she's in and from Colorado USA, not Australia :-) ).
She taught me to make them last year when she visited and the sauce
was so simple: Just chicken stock thickened with flour (not
cornstarch- more for colour than taste as far as she could explain to
me). A large 600 ml carton of sour cream or two stirred through
after the thickening of the sauce. Salt maybe, but no other
seasonings in the sauce. DELICIOUS.

This is not enchiladas, but it is chicken and a cream-type sauce.

Chicken Salsa Verde

4 boned and skinned chicken breast halves
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup hot green chili salsa (such as Mrs. Renfro's)
1 cup sour cream
parmesan cheese

Cut the chicken into strips; saute until lightly brown. Stir in salsa
and sour cream and cook on very low heat for about 10 minutes. Serve
with parmesan to individual taste.

If you like this, a variant is to use part of a small can of chipotles
in adobo sauce instead of the green chili salsa. -aem

I like a verde sauce with chicken, but my daugther make chicken
enchiladas with chili colorado. She got the recipe from Cooking Light
a couple of years ago - so you might be able to search their wb site
to find it.
