Instructions
- 01
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- 02
Make the sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, just until bubbly but not browned.
- 03
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, whisking often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- 04
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream, green chiles, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 05
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken with 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
- 06
Spread about ½ cup of the sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- 07
Warm the tortillas briefly so they’re pliable. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each tortilla, roll snugly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
- 08
Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- 09
Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
- 10
Let the enchiladas rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the sauce can set slightly.
