Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

This is another simple, but delicious recipe I found, and had added to our meal plan this week. I have to admit that most homemade "creamy enchilada's" I've had usually use some type of "cream of..." soup...which I don't like. To me, the enchilada's take on the flavor of the cream of mushroom, or cream of chicken- and that's not a taste I want in my mexican food! So when I found this recipe that DIDN'T use a cream of something soup- I knew I had to try it. The original recipe did not use the green chili enchilada sauce, or garlic- so if you want to try the original- just omit those two ingredients. I also put more chicken stuffing into my enchilada's, but only used 4 tortilla's since it's just two of us eating it.


Ingredients

* 1 lb chicken breast, diced
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas, softened
* 1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack cheese or Mexican blend cheese, divided

2.Divide cooked chicken evenly between 8 tortillas; add 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese to each tortilla.
3.Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in 9x13" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray.
4.Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux; stir and cook until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently.
5.Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green chiles; pour sauce evenly over enchiladas.
6.Top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese (baking dish may be double-wrapped and frozen at this point) and bake at 400° for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce near edges of baking dish is bubbly.
