I cook onion in butter with chili powder. Then I stir in green chilies, mushroom soup and sour cream. I take out 3/4 of mixture and set to the side. Add chicken to the 1/4 mixture still in pan as well as half (1/2 cup) of cheese.

Fill enchiladas with chicken mixture. Mix remaining (3/4) sauce with 1/4-1/3 cup milk. Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Cook at 350 or 30 minutes.
