White Chicken Enchiladas Recipe Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9×13 baking dish
In a medium size bowl, mix the shredded rotisserie chicken with the cream cheese, garlic powder and about half of the shredded cheese
Then grab a flour tortilla and evenly stuff the mixture into your flour tortillas and place them into your prepared pan.
In a sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter and then stir in the flour and taco seasoning. Add the chicken broth and whisk until smooth; allow the mixture to heat up for a few minutes until warm
Then once combined add 1/2 a cup of the shredded cheese and whisk until well incorporated.
Stir in the sour cream and can of chiles; whisk for just a minute or until the sour cream is completely dissolved, but do not allow it to boil as it will separate.
Pour the sauce over the enchiladas that are in the 9X13 and top with remaining cheese.
Bake for 22-25 minutes and then switch the broiler on for a few minutes to brown the cheese. The sweet picture below is my sweet son helping me make dinner, so I couldn't help but capture a picture of him.
Let cool on counter for about 5 minutes
Slice and Serve
I love to serve ours with guacamole, sliced black olives and some sour cream.
Side Idea:
Love to add avocado to the top and a dallop of sour cream, sliced black olives with some shredded lettuce too! You could even do hot sauce to add a little bit of a kick! Try this incredible CAVIAR BEAN DIP HERE for a side!
