Do a search of my recipe box and you'll see quite a few Mexican style dishes in it. It's one of my families favorite meals, and we usually have one at least once a week. I found this recipe awhile back and after making it last night, could kick myself for waiting so long to finally make it. They're quick and easy to put together, especially with leftover chicken, and are absolutely fabulous. If you are an enchilada fan, this is one that you need to put on your menu right away. This dish is very mild, if you'd like it a little more spicy, you can use pepper jack cheese, or increase the amount of green chilies to up the heat factor.
White Chicken Enchiladas
Adapted From: Eat At Home
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Colby/Jack cheese
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 Tbs. dry minced onion
3 Tbs. butter
3 Tbs. flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 can diced green chilies (4.5 oz)
Mix together 1 cup of the cheese and the chicken. Put some of this mixture into each tortilla, roll and place seam side down in a 9×13 casserole dish that's been sprayed with cooking spray.
In a skillet, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute. Add the chicken broth and minced onion, whisking till smooth. Cook this over medium heat until it thickens and bubbles. Stir in the sour cream and green chilies. Pour over the top of the enchiladas. Top with the remaining cheese and bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Hi April I saw you on Stonegables blog this morning and thought I'd drop by. I am a brand new blogger and am having a great time so far. You have a delightful blog. And all the recipes and photos look so good! We had a large family and I know what it is to be frugal. I had to be... and apparently it has rubber off on some of my daughters for which I am grateful. I love your menus and as soon as I can I'll try and join your Menu party. I've wanted to post on Stonegables Menu Monday for last week and this week but I still haven't quite learned how to. But I will. I learn so much about this blogging everyday. It looks like we both have the same two 'vices' accept mine is Diet. (smile) So glad I came here. Love what I see.
