Description

Delightful white chicken enchiladas filled with rotisserie chicken and smothered in a creamy green chili sauce.


Ingredients

  • 8-10 soft taco-size flour tortillas
  • 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 3 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded and divided
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2-3 green onions, chopped
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, sprinkle flour over the melted butter and whisk until combined, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Whisk chicken broth into the butter-flour mixture and cook for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, diced green chilies, salt, and cumin.
  6. Pour half of the green chili sauce into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Divide the chicken and cheese mixture into tortillas, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  8. Top with the remaining sauce and the remaining cheese.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until hot and bubbly, optionally broil for the last few minutes for color.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.

Notes

Warm tortillas before rolling to avoid breaking. Add jalapeños for heat if desired.
