Directions:
Directions:
1)Prep the Chicken Filling
start by mixing the chopped chicken, Colby/Jack, cream cheese,sour cream green chiles,minced onions, salt, and pepper, onion salt and garlic powder in a bowl until everything comes together smoothly.
2)Fill the Tortillas
Spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla, keeping it toward one side, and roll them up gently but tightly.
3)Arrange in the Baking Dish
Pour the enchilada sauce in the baking dish. Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish so they stay in place.
4)Start the Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour to make a smooth paste.Add Broth
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking, letting the sauce thicken to a light, velvety consistency. Add the queso cheese and the optional green chiles and stir until well melted
5)Pour the Sauce Over the Enchiladas
Pour the warm white sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure each one gets covered.
6)Bake Until Warm and Bubbly
Bake the dish at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, just until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts completely. Then I let it rest a minute before serving.
7)Serving Step
Once the enchiladas come out of the oven, I let them rest for a minute so the sauce settles. Then I spoon a little extra sauce from the edges over the top before serving. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a light squeeze of lime adds the perfect brightness.
8)Garnish with cilantro
