Creamy white chicken enchiladas

Ingredients:

For the Enchiladas

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)

2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend)

10 flour tortillas (small or medium)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the White Sauce

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

For Topping (Optional)

Fresh cilantro, chopped

Sliced jalapenos

Extra shredded cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Assemble the Enchiladas

In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, 1 cup cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, and black pepper.

Fill each tortilla with about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

3. Make the White Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, then whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute until golden.

Slowly add chicken broth, whisking continuously until thickened (2-3 minutes).

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, diced green chilies, salt, and pepper.

4. Bake the Enchiladas

Pour the white sauce evenly over the enchiladas.

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Garnish with fresh cilantro or jalapenos.

Enjoy!
