Over the years, this dish has evolved, incorporating a variety of meats, beans, vegetables, and sauces, making it versatile and adaptable to different tastes and preferences.

Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, plus more for topping

1/2 cup sour cream

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

8 medium flour tortillas

1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Olive oil for greasing the baking dish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.

    Prepare Chicken Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

      Assemble Enchiladas: Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of a tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling.

        Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the enchiladas.

          Top with Cheese: Sprinkle additional shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas.

            Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

              Garnish and Serve: Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
