Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8-10 small flour tortillas
3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
3 cups Monterey jack cheese (shredded-divided)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4-ounce can) diced green chilies mild
2-3 tablespoons green onions (sliced)

Steps:

  • Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine chicken and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Fill tortillas with this mixture and roll each one up then place seam side down in the prepared pan.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet. Sprinkle flour over melted butter and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the flour taste. Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in broth. Place back on the heat and cook until the mixture has thickened and is bubbly. Cool sauce for 3-5 minutes. (Don't skip this step- if the sauce is too hot and you add the sour cream it will curdle it-yuck!) Add sour cream and chilies and stir until sauce is smooth and sour cream is completely dissolved.
  • Pour sauce over enchiladas and add remaining cheese over top. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until enchiladas are heated through and sauce is bubbly. Turn on the broiler and broil until the top is nicely golden. Top with chopped green onions and serve.

These enchiladas freeze beautifully and are fast to make. I like cooking the chicken breasts in my Instant Pot®, although a rotisserie chicken can be used for even faster recipe prep.

3 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup water
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas, warmed
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup water

½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup pepper Jack cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts, water, and onion in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add water, chicken stock concentrate, and cumin; whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Stir in Greek yogurt, pepper Jack cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Do not boil, as yogurt may curdle.
  • Pour sauce over enchiladas in the casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses melt, about 22 minutes. Broil on high until top browns, about 3 minutes.
