Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

These were so good (and probably so bad for you, but so good!). Blended up canned chilies in the food processor to better distribute the flavor and that worked out quite well. Might even use an extra can next time for more spice.

Easy to assemble, deliciously creamy and a great choice for once-a-month cooking. And there is NO canned cream soup in my enchiladas. Used the Rotel tomatoes with habenero peppers to give it some extra spice. It turned out to have such a great flavor! Much better than anything I've had in Mexican restaurants.

Added a little cajun seasoning to the chicken while it was cooking with the onions to give it extra flavor. The other thing  did that was not mentioned in the recipe but suggested by other reviewers, was to add a can of Rotel to the sauce mixture.

Ingredients 1 lb chicken breast, diced 1 medium onion, chopped 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 8 flour tortillas, softened (8 inches each) 1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack cheese or 1 1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup flour 1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth 1 cup sour cream 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
