Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Combine shredded rotisserie chicken with softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 cup of grated Monterey Jack cheese in a mixing bowl.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of flour until lightly golden.
  4. Gradually add taco seasoning and 2 cups of chicken broth, whisking continuously. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream and green chiles.
  6. Spoon about 1/3 cup of chicken filling onto each flour tortilla and roll tightly.
  7. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour the sauce over them and sprinkle remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
  8. Bake for 22-25 minutes until bubbling and cheese is melted. Broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden-brown finish.
  9. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
