Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine your cooked, shredded chicken with the cheddar cheese and green chiles. Set aside this tasty filling.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

For the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.

Step 4: Add Chicken Broth

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Heat the mix until it starts to thicken.

Step 5: Incorporate Sour Cream

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in sour cream until creamy and luscious.

Step 6: Assemble the Enchiladas

Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll it up tight, and line them up in your baking dish.

Step 7: Pour the Sauce

Pour that dreamy sour cream sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle extra cheese on top because… why not?

Step 8: Bake the Enchiladas

Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly like a hug on a plate. Let cool slightly before digging in.
