Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  
  

• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  
  

• ½ cup sour cream
  
  

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  
  

• Salt and pepper to taste
  
  

For the sauce:

• 3 tablespoons butter
  
  

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  
  

• 2 cups chicken broth
  
  

• 1 cup sour cream
  
  

• 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  
  

• Salt to taste
  
  

For assembly:

• 8 small flour tortillas
  
  

• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (for topping)
  
  

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
   
   

2. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup cheese, ½ cup sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
   
   

3. Assemble Enchiladas: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll them up and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
   
   

4. Make Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbling. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup sour cream and the diced green chiles. Season with salt to taste.
   
   

5. Bake: Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. If desired, broil for 2–3 minutes for a golden top.
