👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Chicken
Start by shredding your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Creamy White Sauce

• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
• Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking constantly until smooth.
• Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens slightly.
• Lower the heat and stir in sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Keep the sauce warm.

Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chilies, and ½ cup of the Monterey Jack cheese.
• Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the mixture, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 4: Add Sauce and Cheese

• Pour the prepared white sauce evenly over the tortillas.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese generously over the top.

Step 5: Bake

• Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden at the edges.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

• Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
• Top with your favorite garnishes like chopped cilantro, olives, tomatoes, or jalapeños.
• Enjoy warm with a side of rice or beans.
