Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 28 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of diced skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 8 flour tortillas
- ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup of butter from grass-fed cows
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 ½ cups of grated Monterey cheese, divided
- 1 can of chopped green chilies
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of light olive oil
- Himalayan pink salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat and Sauté: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat light olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add diced chicken, finely chopped onion, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the onions turn golden brown.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a floured work surface. Equally distribute the cooked chicken and onions onto each tortilla. Generously sprinkle grated Monterey cheese on top of each portion. Roll up the tortillas tightly.
- Arrange the Enchiladas: Place the rolled enchiladas in a greased baking dish with the seam side down.
- Craft the Creamy Sauce: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter sourced from grass-fed cows. Incorporate all-purpose flour and whisk until well combined. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, add the chopped green chilies and sour cream, and whisk until the sauce is thoroughly blended.
- Pour Sauce and Bake: Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining portion of grated Monterey cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes or until the cheese turns a delightful golden brown and starts to bubble.
- Garnish and Serve: After removing from the oven, garnish your enchiladas with freshly chopped green onions for a crisp finish. Plate and savor the velvety richness.
