White Chicken Enchiladas
White Chicken Enchiladas combine shredded cooked chicken with Monterey Jack cheese rolled into flour tortillas, topped with a creamy sauce made from chicken broth, sour cream, and diced green chiles. The sauce is thickened with a butter and flour roux, poured over the enchiladas, and baked until bubbly and golden. The finished dish is a comforting casserole featuring tender chicken, melted cheese, and a mildly spicy, creamy topping.
