White Chicken Enchiladas

 We love enchiladas at our house, but it seemed like every recipe I tried made the tortillas soggy. Well I finally found a recipe that doesn't! This was really easy but just know the sauce made for this does not freeze well. If you want to make it as a freezer meal, make the enchilada part (stuff the tortillas) and make the sauce the day of.

  • 10 soft taco shells (I used 8 burrito size)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken. I used a rotisserie chicken-it made it easy and the flavor was great!
  • 3 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chillies
  1. Preheat oven to 350*. Grease a 8x11pan (or a 9x13 if you are making 10)
  2. Mix chicken and 1 1/2 cup cheese. Roll up in tortillas and place in pan.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
  4. Stir in sour cream and chillies. Do not bring to a boil. You don't want curdled sour cream.
  5. Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
  6. Bake 22 minutes and then under high broil for 3 minutes to brown the cheese.



Great served with rice and beans! We also topped ours with sour cream and salsa.

  1. This recipe is yummy. It's fast and easy to put together, even though I cooked my own chicken. Don't skip the broiling at the end--it helps make things unsoggy.
