Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies, drained
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

For the sauce:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

For assembling:

• 8-10 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (for topping)
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, diced onion, minced garlic, diced green chilies, sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Make the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth and thickened. Stir in the sour cream, diced green chilies, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until heated through and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Assemble the Enchiladas: Spoon a portion of the chicken filling onto each flour tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the filled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. Pour the Sauce Over: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the top of the filled tortillas in the baking dish, covering them completely.
6. Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving. Serve the white chicken enchiladas warm, with your favorite sides such as Mexican rice, refried beans, or a crisp salad.
