Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 corn tortillas
vegetable oil for pan-frying
3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves, shredded
12 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
¾ cup minced onion
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
  • Divide chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in the sour cream and chiles, heating thoroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over the enchiladas.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.

I'm not a huge fan of green chile sauce, but these enchiladas were still really good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I would definitely make these again, but I would use a different sauce.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again, but I will use less green chile sauce next time.
