Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

"Easy to assemble, deliciously creamy and a great choice for once-a-month cooking. And there is NO canned cream soup in my enchiladas -- Hope you give them a try!"

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas, softened
  • 1 1⁄2 cups grated monterey jack cheese or 1 1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided
  • 1⁄4 cup butter
  • 1⁄4 cup flour
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies or 2 fresh chili peppers, minced

Directions

  • In a frying pan, cook chicken and onion together in oil over medium-high heat until chicken is just done.
  • Divide cooked chicken evenly between 8 tortillas; add 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese to each tortilla.
  • Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in a 9x13" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux, stir and cook until bubbly, and gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green chilies.
  • Pour sauce evenly over enchiladas.
  • Top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese (a baking dish may be double-wrapped and frozen at this point) and bake at 400° F for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce near edges of baking dish is bubbly.
