Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until bubbly. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden. Slowly pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, whisking constantly for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, mix in 1 cup of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of diced onions, 1 can of diced green chiles, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. Stir in 1 cup each of shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese until thoroughly mixed.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the prepared white sauce on the bottom of the dish. Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet for a few seconds until pliable, then fill each with 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
- Once all enchiladas are arranged in the dish, pour the remaining white sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the sauce. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. Allow the enchiladas to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
