Cheesy Baked Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chiles

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 8 flour tortillas (8-inch)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Cheese Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of sour cream and 1 can of diced green chiles. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, whisking until well incorporated. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Enchiladas:
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken with the packet of taco seasoning and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each flour tortilla.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

4. Pour Cheese Sauce and Top with Cheese:
- Pour the prepared cheese sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top.

5. Bake the Enchiladas:
- Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas are slightly golden.

6. Serve:
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy baked chicken enchiladas with a side of salsa or sour cream if desired.
