Description

Creamy and comforting white chicken enchiladas made with rotisserie chicken, cheese, and flavorful spices, perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (using rotisserie chicken)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (or replace with sour cream)
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 can diced green chiles
  • 8 large flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
  3. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
  5. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a small saucepan, heat the chicken broth until warm. Pour the warm broth over the enchiladas.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and sprinkle any remaining cheese on top. Bake without the foil for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese melts and begins to bubble.
  9. Once done, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving warm.

Notes

For a spicier kick, consider adding diced jalapeños to the filling. Toasting the tortillas beforehand adds a lovely texture.
