Ingredients
  

For the Enchiladas:

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (such as rotisserie chicken)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

8 large flour tortillas

For the Green Chili Sour Cream Sauce:

1 cup sour cream

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies, drained

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. Mix until well combined.

      Fill the Tortillas: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the greased baking dish. Repeat this process with all tortillas and filling.

        Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, diced green chilies, chicken broth, lime juice, garlic salt, and pepper until smooth.

          Combine Enchiladas and Sauce: Pour the green chili sour cream sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are completely covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese on top.

            Bake the Enchiladas: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.

              Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional lime wedges if desired. Enjoy your delicious white chicken enchiladas!
