Ingredients

¼ cup butter, melted
1 ½ pounds bone-in chicken breasts
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 ½ cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
¾ cup sour cream

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rub melted butter onto the chicken breasts and place in a baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 55 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
While the chicken is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chile peppers, sugar, cumin, chili powder, oregano, basil, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Remove chicken from the oven. Remove and discard skin and bones. Cut meat into 12 strips. Keep oven on.
Dip a tortilla into the tomato sauce to soften. Place 1 piece of chicken and about 2 tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese in the center of the tortilla. Roll and place, seam-side down, in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken, and cheese.
Stir sour cream into the remaining tomato sauce; pour over enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and cover with aluminum foil or a lid.
Bake until heated through, about 45 minutes.
