after two failed tries at new recipes last week, we finally had a winner. these were so good and the ingredients so simple! found the recipe on pinterest.
1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 8-inch flour tortillas, softened
1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack cheese or 1 1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
* i added 1 garlic clove and some cumin to this recipe*
Directions:
Fry chicken and onion together in oil over medium high heat until chicken is done. (i added 1 clove of garlic, minced, and some cumin as well).
Divide cooked chicken evenly between 8 tortillas; add 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese to each tortilla.
Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in 9x13" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux; stir and cook until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green chiles; pour sauce evenly over enchiladas.
Top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese (baking dish may be double-wrapped and frozen at this point) and bake at 400° for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce near edges of baking dish is bubbly.
I think I have 50 chicken enchilada recipes, but I might have to try these too. They sound so good!
