White Chicken Enchiladas

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

8-10 small flour tortillas

3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)

3 cups Monterey jack cheese (shredded-divided)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons flour

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup sour cream

1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies mild

2-3 tablespoons green onions (sliced)

Directions

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC).

In a small bowl, combine chicken (3 cups) and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Fill tortillas (8-10) with this mixture and roll each one up then place seam side down in the prepared pan.

Melt the butter (3 tablespoons) in a skillet. Sprinkle flour (3 tablespoons) over melted butter and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the flour taste. Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in broth (2 cups). Place back on the heat and cook until the mixture has thickened and is bubbly. Cool sauce for 3-5 minutes. (Don't skip this step- if the sauce is too hot and you add the sour cream it will curdle it-yuck!). Add sour cream (1 cup) and chilies (1 can) and stir until the sauce is smooth and the sour cream is completely dissolved.

Pour sauce over enchiladas and add remaining cheese over top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the enchiladas are heated through and the sauce is bubbly. Turn on the broiler and broil until the top is nicely golden. Top with chopped green onions (2-3 tablespoons) and serve.
