One famous and satisfying Mexican-inspired meal is white chicken enchiladas, which are made with soft tortillas, tender shredded chicken, and a creamy, cheesy white sauce. This recipe calls for a white sauce—made with things like sour cream, cream cheese, or a béchamel sauce—instead of the tomato-based sauce used in classic red enchiladas. The result is a velvety, creamy dish.
Traditional seasonings for this meal include green chilies, onions, and spices, and shredded chicken is one of the main components. After the chicken mixture is mixed, flour tortillas are rolled and baked. Before baking, the enchiladas are doused with the creamy white sauce, which may have a tinge of spice. In the oven, a thick coating of cheese melts and browns, turning it into a golden, gooey topping.
Creamy and satisfying, white chicken enchiladas are a crowd-pleaser. Various toppings such as fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, or jalapeños may be added to make them more personalized and adaptable. If you’re looking for a tasty and filling dish, this is the one to bring to a potluck, a family dinner, or any other event.
Eight to ten flour tortillas, about the size of soft tacos, are needed.
2 cups of chicken that has been cooked and shredded.
Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, 2 cups.
butter, three tablespoons.
flour, measuring three tablespoons.
2 quarts of chicken stock.
sour cream, measuring one cup-full.
Canned green chilies, chopped, one 4-ounce can
Step 1: Combine the chicken and 1 cup of cheese. Step 2: Roll the mixture into tortillas. Step 3: Spray a 9×13 pan and arrange the tortillas seam side down.
While whisking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, swirling constantly, for 1 minute.
Pour in the broth and mix with a whisk until combined.
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and chiles until well incorporated after sauce has thickened.
After topping the enchiladas with half of the cheese, pour the sauce over them.
Cook for 20–25 minutes in a 350° oven that has been preheated.
Simplified, tasty, and a breeze! All that chicken, that sauce, that cheese, wrapped in tortillas…
This dish is really worth your time; I fell head over heels for it.
Graze it!
