These Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas are a rich, cheesy, and velvety comfort food that’s perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (4 ounces) green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat and add the sour cream, canned green chilies, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
  6. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture onto the center. Roll it tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Evenly pour the creamy white sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they’re fully covered.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the sauce-covered enchiladas.
  9. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. If desired, switch your oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to give the cheese a beautiful golden color.
  11. Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Don’t skimp on the sauce—a generous amount ensures every bite is moist and flavorful.’, ‘If your sauce seems too thick, add a splash of extra chicken broth to thin it out.’, ‘Warm the tortillas slightly before filling and rolling to make them more pliable.’, ‘Season the shredded chicken before mixing it with cheese for added flavor.’, ‘Arrange the enchiladas snugly in the baking dish to prevent them from unrolling while baking.’]
