Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until frothy. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually pour in chicken broth, whisking continuously until thickened and smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and blend in sour cream, ground cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken, half a diced onion, diced green chiles, and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until evenly coated.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom of the dish. Fill a flour tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
- Pour the remaining white sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the enchiladas rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
