These creamy white chicken enchiladas are a comforting dish made with shredded chicken and a rich, cheesy sauce that the entire family will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 soft taco-sized flour tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or pepper jack for extra spice)
  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can of chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 oz) can of diced green chiles

Instructions

  1. Begin by mixing your shredded chicken with the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and half of the shredded cheese (about 1 cup). Ensure all ingredients blend well to form a cohesive filling.
  2. Fill each flour tortilla with the chicken mixture, placing them seam-side down into your greased baking pan. Aim to distribute the filling evenly for balanced flavors in every bite.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and taco seasoning, allowing them to combine and create a roux.
  4. Gradually add the chicken broth while whisking continuously. The mixture should become smooth and creamy as it warms up.
  5. Incorporate 1/2 cup of shredded cheese into the sauce, whisking until it fully dissolves.
  6. Add in the sour cream and the can of diced green chiles, whisking gently to combine without boiling the sauce.
  7. Pour the creamy sauce generously over the enchiladas, making sure to cover each one well. You want every bite to be enveloped in that rich, creamy goodness. Top the dish with the remaining shredded cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, then switch on the broiler for a few minutes to achieve that irresistibly crispy, golden layer on top.

Notes

Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing for an extra creamy texture. Consider adding corn or black beans to the filling for more substance.
