Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Warm olive oil in a saute pan, over medium heat. Cut chicken breasts into small pieces, season with cumin, salt and pepper, and saute in olive oil until cooked through.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 30 - 60 seconds, until pliable. Add 1/8 cup of cooked chicken to the center of the tortillas, and top with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Roll tortillas and place seam-side down in a greased casserole dish.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour, and whisk to form a roux. Slowly add in chicken broth, whisking constantly until incorporated and no clumps remain. Remove from heat.
- Add in sour cream and diced chilies and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over rolled tortillas. Top with remaining cup of shredded cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
LOW-FAT CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
Steps:
- Rinse the chicken, and place the chicken, water, and bouillon granules in a 2-quart pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced.
- Remove the chicken from the pot with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid, and cool to room temperature. Tear the chicken into shreds, and transfer to a large bowl. Add the scallions, cilantro or parsley, oregano, and pepper, and stir to mix. Set aside.
- To make the sauce, combine the tomato sauce, chili powder, and cumin in a medium-sized skillet. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Combine the flour and water in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and shake until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the simmering sauce, and continue to stir until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Reduce the heat to low.
- Coat a 9X13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Dip a tortilla in the sauce for about 10 seconds -- just long enough to soften the tortilla -- coating each side with sauce. Lay the tortilla on a flat surface, and place 1/4 cup of the chicken filling along one end. Roll the tortilla up jelly-roll style, and lay it in the pan, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, leaving a 1/4-inch space between the enchiladas to prevent them from sticking together. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, and spread the cheese over the top.
- Bake uncovered at 450 for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through. Top individual servings with 2 tablespoons of sour cream and 2 teaspoons of scallions, and serve hot.

POPULAR SOUR CREAM CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
Like most tex-mex food, this isn't the healthiest fare but it sure is yummy!!! I use low-fat sour cream, low-fat cheese, and whole wheat tortillas to cut a little of the fat and calories and it doesn't effect the flavor at all. Use more or less green chilies to control the spiciness, too. And, to save time cooking, you can use leftover chicken breasts or a whole pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.

SOUR CREAM CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
The popular "Magnolia Table" cookbooks by Joanna Gaines are full of Texas classics like king ranch, chicken spaghetti and this creamy version of chicken enchiladas. The combination of tart salsa verde (which has tomatillos and green chiles) with cream and melted cheese makes it special; don't use red enchilada sauce here. The cream of chicken soup mixed with the chicken meat makes a super-rich filling, but you can absolutely use an additional 8 ounces of sour cream instead if you prefer.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the enchilada sauce, condensed soup and sour cream. Spread 1/2 cup in the baking dish; set aside the remaining 3 1/2 cups creamy enchilada sauce.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and chiles (including any liquid from the can); set aside.
- Sprinkle about 2 heaping tablespoons mozzarella on a tortilla, then add a heaping 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken and chiles. Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas with 2 tablespoons mozzarella and a heaping 1/3 cup chicken mixture, placing the tortillas in the baking dish as they are filled, pushing the rolled tortillas as needed to fit in a single layer.
- Pour the reserved creamy enchilada sauce over the filled tortillas. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. If you'd like it to be a bit browner in spots, you can pop it under the broiler for another minute or two.
- Sprinkle enchiladas with tomato and cilantro and pass with lime wedges for squeezing on top. Serve enchiladas with rice and beans, if desired. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in a 300-degree oven.
