Instructions to make Easy Chicken Enchiladas:
- If using a rotisserie chicken, pull meat from bone and shred. If using a whole chicken, you can broil or roast with seasonings you like.
- In skillet, make a roux using the unsalted butter and all purpose flour. To do this, on medium heat, melt butter and gradually add flour, stirring, ensuring there are no lumps. I generally cook this long enough to where it begins to turn a light brown, adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once roux is formed, stir in sour cream or yogurt. Gradually add broth. Once combined, add 1 cup of cheese until melted and combined. Set aside.
- In a 9 x 13 oven safe dish, coat bottom with a portion of enchilada sauce - just coating the bottom.
- Turn on and preheat oven to 350. Take a flour tortilla and place shredded chicken in middle. Top chicken with good amount of cheese. Roll up and place in dish with enchilada sauce. Can get about 8 out of this.
- Pour cheese sauce made in skillet over top of rolled tortillas. Top with remaining shredded cheese. (Option: pour remaining enchilada sauce on top too.)
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the cheese is well melted. Enjoy!
