# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven to 350°F to preheat. Spray a 9x13-inch dish lightly with cooking oil.
02 -
In a bowl, toss together the chicken and 1 cup of shredded cheese until they’re combined.
03 -
Lay out a tortilla and spoon around ¼ cup of the chicken mix in the center. Roll it up and place it in the greased dish, seam side facing down. Pack them tightly together.
04 -
Heat butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and let it cook for a minute. Slowly add the chicken broth while whisking to keep it lump-free.
05 -
Keep stirring the sauce until it starts to thicken and bubble after about 4-5 minutes. It should stick slightly to the back of a spoon.
06 -
Take the pan off the heat and mix in sour cream and the diced chilies. Combine until smooth. Taste, and add salt and pepper if you want.
07 -
Spread the white sauce all over the enchiladas, making sure everything’s covered. Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top.
08 -
Place the dish in the oven, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes. When the edges of the cheese start crisping and the middle is bubbling, it’s done.
09 -
Let it cool for about 5 minutes before digging in. Top it with extras like cilantro, avocado chunks, or tomatoes if you like.
# Notes:
01 -
Save time by using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the store.
02 -
Sauce thickens after it cools. If it’s pourable right after cooking, that’s okay!
03 -
For added kick, try throwing in a minced jalapeño or swapping in pepper jack cheese.
