Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 1 cup shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Fill the Tortillas:
    • Take one tortilla and spoon about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Make the White Sauce:
    • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until lightly golden, creating a roux.
    • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
    • Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Assemble the Enchiladas:
    • Pour the white sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Serve:
    • Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
