Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and 1 ½ cups of cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add chicken broth, whisking until smooth and thickened.
Stir in sour cream and green chilies. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden.

Notes

Make Ahead: Assemble the enchiladas and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving for a fresh taste.
Customizing the Flavor: Add a kick with jalapeños, or mix in black beans and corn for extra texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of Mexican rice, guacamole, and a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
Allergy-Friendly Options: Use gluten-free tortillas and cornstarch instead of flour for a gluten-free version. Substitute dairy-free sour cream and cheese for a dairy-free option.
Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
