White Chicken Enchiladas
White Chicken Enchiladas combine shredded rotisserie chicken with Monterey Jack cheese wrapped in soft flour or corn tortillas. The dish is topped with a creamy sauce made from butter, flour, chicken broth, sour cream, and green chilies, then baked until bubbly and golden. The enchiladas offer a smooth, mildly spicy flavor with a rich, cheesy filling and a tender texture from baking. They work well as a comforting main dish served with fresh chopped green onions, cilantro, or jalapeños for added freshness and heat.
