Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas!
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp adobo seasoning
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 5 tbsp butter
- 10 flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded taco blend cheese
- 1 cup of white shredded cheese of your choice
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 10 oz can diced Rotel tomatoes & green chilies, undrained
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
If using a whole rotisserie chicken, remove all the meat from the bone and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded chicken with 1 cup of shredded taco blend cheese and 1 tablespoon of adobo seasoning. Feel free to incorporate any other preferred seasonings or a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated and seasoned.
-
Spoon a generous amount (about 2-3 tablespoons) of the chicken mixture into the center of each flour tortilla. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue this process until all 10 tortillas are filled and neatly arranged in the dish.
-
In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt the 5 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter is fully melted, whisk in the 3 tablespoons of flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, for approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly and achieve a light golden color.
-
Gradually add the 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth to the roux, whisking continuously to ensure the sauce remains smooth and completely free of any lumps. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, continuing to whisk as it thickens further to a creamy consistency.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully stir in the 1 cup of sour cream and the entire 10 oz can of undrained Rotel tomatoes and green chilies. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the sauce is uniformly creamy. It’s important not to let the sauce get too hot after adding the sour cream, as it can cause it to curdle.
-
Evenly pour the creamy white sauce over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish, ensuring each tortilla is thoroughly coated.
-
Generously sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of white shredded cheese of your choice over the top of the sauced enchiladas, ensuring full and even coverage for that perfect cheesy crust.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted, bubbly, and has developed a lightly golden-brown hue, and the enchiladas are heated through to the center.
-
Allow the enchiladas to stand for a few minutes before serving to let the sauce set slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or extra sour cream if desired. ENJOY your truly incredible homemade White Chicken Enchiladas!
