Ingredients
- 8-10 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 3 tbsps butter
- 3 tbsps flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
Preparation
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Spoon the mixture evenly onto the flour tortillas and roll them up tightly. Place the enchiladas seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Next, prepare the creamy sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and diced green chiles until well combined.
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the enchiladas, ensuring they’re fully covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
Serve these White Chicken Enchiladas hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions if desired. Pair with Mexican rice, refried beans, or a crisp salad for a complete meal. This recipe is not only easy to make but also incredibly satisfying—perfect for busy nights when you want something hearty and flavorful!
