Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 lb. skinless boneless chicken breast, diced {I found this to be about 2 medium sized breasts}
  • 1/2 white onion chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 {8 in} flour tortillas
  • 1 & 1/2 cups monterey cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup butter salted
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 {14.5 oz.} can chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 {4.5 oz.} can chopped green chiles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil on medium-low heat. {How long do you heat it? Here’s a fun trick – Use a wooden spoon and dip the handle in the oil periodically. As soon as bubbles begin to form around it, that’s when you know it’s hot enough.}
  3. Add the chicken, onion, salt, and pepper and cover, stirring occasionally; cook until chicken is no longer pink inside.
  4. Distribute the chicken evenly between the 8 tortillas and top each one off with 1 & 1/2 Tbsp. of cheese.
  5. Roll tightly and place, seam side down, in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan.
  7. Add flour and stir until mixture begins to bubble.
  8. Add chicken broth slowly and bring to a boil.
  9. Remove from heat and add sour cream and chiles.
  10. Pour your sauce evenly over the enchiladas and top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. {Or more…no judgements here.}
  11. Bake uncovered for 17-20 minutes.
  12. Use any additional toppings you might like – sour cream, green onions, etc.
