White Chicken Enchiladas
Description
White Chicken Enchiladas feature a filling of shredded rotisserie chicken mixed with Monterey Jack cheese rolled inside flour or corn tortillas. The sauce is made by cooking a roux of butter and flour, then whisking in chicken broth until bubbly. After cooling slightly, sour cream and diced green chilies are added to create a creamy, flavorful topping. The enchiladas are topped with remaining cheese and baked until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. The final dish has a smooth sauce and a mild kick from the chilies, providing a creamy, tender bite with cheesy notes.
The dish pairs well with fresh garnishes like chopped green onions, cilantro, or diced jalapeños to add brightness and a little heat. It serves as a filling meal suitable for family dinners or casual gatherings.
