"If you've ever watched Jennifer Garner's "Pretend Cooking Show" on Instagram, you know it's equal parts wholesome chaos and family nostalgia. Her most recent episode features her mom, Pat Garner, cooking their family's favorite chicken enchiladas, a recipe that's been around since Jennifer's West Virginia childhood. Written on an old index card from a family friend, this dish is what Garner calls "barely related to chicken enchiladas " - and she's right."
"For Jennifer, it's more than just food; it's a memory. The back-and-forth between mother and daughter - Pat directing ("Don't stand there, you'll get awfully tired!") and Jennifer gently rebelling by holding back on the sour cream and chilies - is a fun watch, and even more fun to cook along with. How to Make the Garners' Chicken Enchiladas Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F, until bubbly and golden on top (my oven needed 40 minutes)."
Jennifer Garner recreates a family chicken enchilada recipe with her mother Pat Garner that originated in Jennifer's West Virginia childhood and is written on an old index card from a family friend. The dish differs from traditional chicken enchiladas. The segment emphasizes family memory and playful interaction between mother and daughter. Baking instructions call for about 30 minutes at 350°F until bubbly and golden. Practical tips recommend shredding poached chicken in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, choosing eight-inch flour tortillas for a 9×13 pan, and using a 10.5-ounce can of cream of chicken soup plus two 4-ounce cans of diced green chiles.
