Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas
If you love cheesy, comforting, and totally irresistible dinners, these Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas are going to be your new obsession. Tender rotisserie chicken is mixed with green chiles and cheese, rolled in soft tortillas, and smothered in a rich jalapeño-garlic cream sauce. Baked under Monterey Jack until melty and bubbly, this dish is the definition of cozy comfort food. This is my twist on a Tex-Mex classic — creamy, zesty, and loaded with flavor, but still super approachable for weeknights.

Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tsp Adobo seasoning, and 1 can diced green chiles (undrained). Mix and set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion, jalapeños, and minced garlic with chili peppers. Cook until softened, 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tsp Adobo seasoning and ½ tsp smoked paprika.
- Add flour and whisk for 2–3 minutes to cook out the raw taste.
- Slowly whisk in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer 5 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream, bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Lower heat, stir in sour cream, then taste and adjust with salt & pepper.
- Spoon chicken filling into tortillas, roll up burrito-style, and place seam-side down in prepared baking dish.
- Pour the cream sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with 8 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly. Broil 1–2 minutes for golden brown cheese if desired.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices.
