  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side until browned. Remove and shred the chicken.
  3. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, green chiles, and half of the shredded cheese.
  4. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, then gradually add chicken broth while stirring until thickened. Stir in sour cream.
  5. Spread some white sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  6. Pour remaining white sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbling and golden.
