Description

Delicious and comforting creamy white chicken enchiladas that are perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Sauté the seasoned chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 7 to 10 minutes. Shred the chicken and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, diced green chiles, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir and let it simmer.
  4. Fill each flour tortilla with shredded chicken and a sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese. Roll them tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the creamy sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring they are fully coated. Top with any remaining cheese.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, consider marinating chicken with spices beforehand. Garnish with cilantro or green onions for added freshness.
