Amazing Chicken Enchiladas....Mmmmmmmm.

I just made the most amazing enchiladas.  My mother-in-law made them the other evening and I just had to try them out at home.  They were easy to make and taste just as scrumptious as hers! 

Chicken Enchiladas

6 flour tortillas

3 cooked chicken breast halves, shredded

½ cup chopped green onions

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup sour cream

¾ cup minced onion

12 oz shredded cheddar cheese

4 oz chopped green chilies

¼ cup butter

¼ cup all purpose flour


Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Divide the chicken, onion (not green onion) and 10 oz of the cheese between the tortillas. Roll them up and place in a greased baking pan, seam side down.

Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until it begins to boil. Add the broth, stirring continuously.  Add the chilies and sour cream. Stir occasionally and do not let the mixture boil. Pour this mixture over the enchiladas when hot and thick.

Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes then top with the rest of the cheese and bake for a further 5 minutes. Use the green onions and cilantro to garnish them.
