White Chicken Enchiladas

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese until well combined.
  3. Spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream and diced green chiles until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour the creamy white sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the sauce.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
