Creating Easy White Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy White Sauce is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, Monterey Jack cheese (saving some for topping), garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Prepare Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable.
4. Fill Tortillas: Spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla, then roll them up and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
5. Combine Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix any remaining sour cream with a little water to thin it out. Drizzle over the rolled tortillas.
6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish: Remove the enchiladas from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.
