Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas {recipe}

I love Enchiladas! Next to Lasagna, it is one of my favorite meals! When I came across the following recipe on Food.com, I knew I had to give it a try. {and boy am I glad I did!}

Recipe from Food.com

What you will need:

1 lb. chicken breast, diced

1 medium onion, chopped

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil {i just used extra virgin olive oil since it was all I had on hand}

8 flour tortillas {i used whole wheat ones and they were excellent!}

1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack cheese {i used a blend of monterey jack and cheddar}

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup flour

1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth

1 cup sour cream

1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies

Scallions for garnish (optional)

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 400*

In frypan, cook chicken and onion together in oil until chicken is no longer pink

Divide cooked chicken evenly between the 8 tortillas; sprinkle about 1 Tbsp. of the cheese into each tortilla

Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in 9x13 baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray

Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux; stir and cook until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently

Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green chilies; pour sauce evenly over enchiladas

Top with remaining cheese and bake at 400* for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce near edges of baking dish is bubbly

** I cut up a few scallions and sprinkled them over the top of mine and hubby's. It was absolutely delicious! The kids even liked it!
