Ingredients
Chicken Filling:
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
-
4 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 whole roasted chicken, bones and skin removed, meat shredded
-
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
-
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup salsa verde
-
1 (2.5 ounce) can sliced olives, drained and diced
-
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
½ (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers (Optional)
Enchilada Sauce:
-
¼ cup butter
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
2 cups chicken broth
-
1 cup sour cream
-
½ cup salsa verde
-
16 corn tortillas
-
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
-
Combine chicken, onion mixture, cheese blend, cream cheese, salsa verde, olives, cilantro, and jalapenos in a large bowl for the filling. Mix well.
-
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, then chicken broth. Cook until sauce starts to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in sour cream and salsa verde; cook until heated through. Spread a spoonful of sauce over the bottoms of two 9x11-inch casserole dishes.
-
Wrap a tortilla in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. Fill with the chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down into a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas until each dish holds 8 enchiladas.
-
Spoon remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle cheese on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.
