Instructions
Creating Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable.
4. Fill Tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture into the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
5. Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and green enchilada sauce until well mixed. Pour this mixture over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly on top of the enchiladas.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
These steps will guide you in creating a delightful dish that is sure to impress.
