Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt ¼ cup of butter until it becomes frothy, about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle in ¼ cup of flour, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook this mixture for about 1 minute until it starts to bubble gently and turns a light golden color.
- Gradually whisk in 3 cups of chicken broth to the roux, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken until it coats the back of a spoon. Mix in 4 ounces of diced green chiles and 1 cup of sour cream, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken breast, 6 ounces of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of Monterey Jack cheese, and stir well until the mixture is creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of creamy sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Take one tortilla and scoop about ¼ cup of the chicken filling into the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
- Pour the remaining creamy sauce evenly over the tortillas and sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups of Monterey Jack cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.
- Let the casserole cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
