Ingredients

  • 2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
  • 2 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese (divided)
  • 5 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 ounces canned diced green chilies
  • 10 soft flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Cook chicken (boil, bake, or use rotisserie) and shred with a fork.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, ¾ cup cheese, garlic powder, and cream cheese.
  4. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and taco seasoning; cook 1 minute.
  5. Slowly whisk in chicken broth. Once thickened, stir in ½ cup shredded cheese and simmer until bubbling.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and green chilies (do not boil).
  7. Spoon chicken mixture into tortillas, roll up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  8. Pour sauce evenly over enchiladas. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
  9. Bake uncovered for 22 minutes. Broil 1–2 minutes for a golden top.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with turkey or ground beef.
  • Use Pepper Jack for extra spice.
  • Garnish with cilantro or green onions.
  • Try with corn tortillas (warm first to prevent cracking).
  • Drizzle with hot sauce or salsa verde for more heat.
