White Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chile Sour Cream Sauce


This recipe was really good and easy. To cut down on cost I usually just cook a whole chicken and then shred the meat off of it. I always stock up on chickens when they go on sale for around $3. Thank goodness for an extra freezer! You can always cook your chicken the day before in a crockpot so that you can whip up the meal really quick the next day.
White Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chile Sour Cream Sauce
Ingredients
8 soft taco size flour tortillas ( I used low-carb wheat ones)
2 cups shredded Monterrey jack cheese, divided
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
Chopped, fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.  Mix the chicken together with 1 cup of the cheese. Distribute the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas.  Roll up and place seam side down in the prepared pan. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Continue cooking over medium heat until sauce is thick and bubbly. Stir in the sour cream and diced green chiles. Pour the sauce in an even layer over the enchiladas.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Sprinkle with cilantro just before serving.
