Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 8 flour tortillas (6-inch)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of cheese. Divide the mixture evenly between the tortillas, roll them up, and place seam side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbling but not browned.
  4. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and green chilies. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly, then broil for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the cheese if desired.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

You can substitute the Monterey Jack cheese with cheddar or a Mexican blend for a different flavor. If you like extra heat, add a diced jalapeño to the sauce.
