Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8 flour tortillas (medium size)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chiles, drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken, green chiles, chicken broth, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, cream cheese, and 1/2 cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese until smooth.
  5. Spread about 1/4 cup of the sour cream mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave or a dry skillet to make them pliable.
  7. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  8. Pour the remaining sour cream sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Notes

  • For a thinner sauce, add a splash more chicken broth when mixing the sour cream base.
  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken for the cooked shredded chicken to save time.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, use salsa verde instead of green chiles.
