How to make: CREAMY WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Whip up the cheesiest, dreamiest dinner you&#039;ve ever had with my sensational White Chicken Enchiladas! Guaranteed to please even the pickiest eaters!

White Chicken Enchiladas

flour tortillas

chicken (shredded

Monterey jack cheese (shredded-divided)

unsalted butter

flour

(4-ounce can) diced green chilies mild

onions

Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. &nbsp;Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine chicken and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Fill tortillas with this mixture and roll each one up then place seam side down in the prepared pan.

Melt the butter in a skillet.  Sprinkle flour over melted butter and whisk to combine.  Cook for 1 minute to remove the flour taste. Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in broth. Place back on the heat and cook until the mixture has thickened and is bubbly. Cool sauce for 3-5 minutes. (Don&#039;t skip this step- if the sauce is too hot and you add the sour cream it will curdle it-yuck!)  Add sour cream and chilies and stir until sauce is smooth and sour cream is completely dissolved.

Pour sauce over enchiladas and add remaining cheese over top.  Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until enchiladas are heated through and sauce is bubbly.  Turn on the broiler and broil until the top is nicely golden. Top with chopped green onions and serve.

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas (AKA White Chicken Enchiladas) with Creamy Poblano Sauce! Vegetarian adaptable! Sub roasted cauliflower for the chicken! See notes.

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas with Poblano Sauce (or Cauliflower)

chicken

corn – fresh

coriander

tsp cumin

fresh cilantro, chopped

scallions, sliced

salt and pepper

tablespoon lime zest

chili

olive oil

shallot, chopped (or half an onion, finely diced)

Sour Cream

ground coriander

6-8 x 8-inch tortillas (flour, corn,

queso fresco cheese, mozzarella cheese

Make the Filling

Prepare chicken (or cauliflower/spinach) see notes, and place in a bowl. Add corn. Mix with cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, scallions, fresh cilantro and lime zest. Set aside.

Roast the poblano (or use canned green chilies)

 directly over a gas flame (or on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler) turning regularly, until the skins have blackened and blistered. Place in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let cool. Under running water rub off the blackened skin, carefully tear open and pull out the seed pod and stem and rinse all the seeds away. Dice finely.  (If pressed for time, you can skip this step entirely by substituting 1 small can of green chiles)

Make the sauce

In a medium pot, over medium heat 2 T oil or butter and saute shallot until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add 2 T flour, and toast, stirring 2-3 minutes on med-low heat. Whisk in 1 1/4 cups broth. Stir in the sour cream, and whisk until smooth. If using canned chilies, add 1/2 the can now, along with coriander, salt and pepper. Save the remaining chilies and add to the filling. Alternatively, if using the poblano, add a cautious 1/3 of the diced poblanos to start, tasting for heat. (Most are mild, but some, very occasionally are hot!) Then, according to your heat tolerance, add the remaining poblanos to taste. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Add some to the filling if you  want.

Assemble

Grease one 9 x 13-inch pan. Place 2/3 cup Poblano Cream Sauce in the bottom of the  baking dish, just enough to lightly coat the bottom. If your tortillas are not soft and pliable, which is often the case with 100 % corn tortillas, lightly toast over a gas flame on the stovetop, or place them in a microwave covered for a few seconds, or spread on a sheet pan and place in a warm oven for a few minutes,  or quickly pan-sear.  

Assemble: Add 2-3 tablespoons cheese to the center of the tortilla add about 1/2-3/4 cup filling and roll them up. Place them seam-side down in the pan on top of the sauce. Pour remaining sauce over top.  Add more cheese if you like.

Cover with foil, place in a 400 F oven  for 20-25 minutes.   Remove foil. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and scallions.

This recipe is amazing!! First recipe I've tried from this site and it's instantly in the rotation! Our toddler loved it as well! I was planning to use a chicken/cauli mix, but ended up having enough chicken. We are trying to eat less meat, so next time I will definitely do the mix. We baked the chicken using the recipe she has linked with the Mexican spices and made with her cilantro lime rice. All so good!

Ooh, these were delicious! Another great recipe from your blog - I’ve made so many and they’ve all been fantastic. I cooked up some veggies and mixed them with black beans and cheese and rolled all that up in tortillas. The sauce is out of this world - I used diced green chiles and pickled jalapeños since I didn’t have a poblano on hand. So good- a keeper for sure!

I made these with the cauliflower and they are delicious. The sauce is to die for.

I made this for my Christmas Dinner and it was so delicious! Thank you so much Sylvia!

This was easily my favorite recipe of 2020. The roasted poblanos take this dish to the next level. The creamy white sauce is so easy to make and extra flavorful. I had to trade out the flour for gluten-free flour, but it worked great.

Does this recipe freeze well? If you assemble with the sauce and freeze, then defrost later and cook?

Such a delicious recipe!! Everyone absolutely loves them each time I make them!

Super indeed I don't like it but love it sooooo much 
Regards Roy
