Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 4 ounces canned diced green chilies
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese
  • 10 taco size flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a skillet or saute pan, melt the butter over medium high heat on the stovetop. When butter is melted, add diced onions and saute for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly translucent.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the sauteed onions and whisk to combine. Continue to cook, while whisking for another 2 minutes.
  • Add in green chilies and chicken broth and whisk to combine together. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook, while whisking for another 3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in sour cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Ladle approximately ½ cup of the sauce into a 9x13 baking dish, just to cover the bottom.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together shredded chicken and 1 ¼ cups of the shredded cheese. Place about ⅓ cup of the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of each flour tortilla. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam side down into the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the tortillas and top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through.
