Simple and satisfying chicken enchiladas with a creamy sour cream and green chile sauce.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup (142 grams) chopped onion
  • 4.5-oz can (128 grams) green chiles
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (250 ml) chicken broth
  • 1 cup (227 grams) sour cream
  • 10 large flour tortillas
  • 3 cups (455 grams) cooked shredded chicken (about 2-3 chicken breasts)
  • 8 oz (226 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese

Suggested toppings:

  •  Salsa
  • Cilantro
  • Green onions
  • Lettuce
  • Avocado

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish and set aside.
  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and green chiles and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add flour and stir to combine. Add chicken broth a little at a time while stirring constantly, until all broth has been added and sauce is smooth. Stir in sour cream. Cook 2-3 until thickened.
  • In a large bowl add half of the sauce, all of the chicken, and half of the cheese. Working with one tortilla at a time, spread some filling down the center, roll up, and place seam side-down in the casserole dish.
