Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (one at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to the pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
Step 3
Divide chicken, 10 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
Step 4
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add chicken broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in sour cream and green chiles, stirring occasionally. Heat thoroughly but do not boil. Pour mixture over enchiladas.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes.
Step 6
Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.
