What is white enchilada sauce made of? 

The white sauce is made from broth, flour, sour cream, and cheese.

 

Can I use flour tortillas to make these white enchiladas?

Yes, this recipe uses flour tortillas. Corn tortillas are traditionally used for these enchiladas but this is a Texmex US variety that uses flour tortillas. 
 

What side dish goes with white chicken enchiladas?

We like to make enchiladas with some spicy pinto beans, Spanish rice, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. Guacamole and sour cream are delicious toppings. You can also serve chips and salsa with it. 

 

Can you make these white chicken enchiladas gluten-free?

We have never tried it ourselves but you can experiment with it and use a gluten-free tortilla and flour and make this recipe. I think it would work out fine!

Do you cover enchiladas while baking them?

Usually, they will be covered by foil to help the cheese melt but not get hard and to keep them moist. 

 

How do you make white chicken enchiladas?

Let us show you how. 

What You Need 

 Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

 

Ingredients:

 

2 Cups Grated  Jack cheese
2 Cups Shredded chicken leftovers
3 Tablespoons. organic butter
3 Tablespoons. organic flour
1 Can bone broth (or other broth) or our bone broth recipe
1 Cup organic sour cream

 

Instructions –

Preheat oven to 425 F

Mix one-half of your cheese and all of your chicken in a bowl.
Spoon a bit of this mix into the center of your tortilla and then roll them up.
Place them face down in a casserole dish and continue rolling each of them and laying them side by side.

Now for your sauce! Grab one of your skillets and in there place your butter in the pan and allow it to melt.  Then take your flour and add it to the butter and stir well.  This will become very thick.  Add to this your bone broth whisking well making sure you don’t get lumps.  Cook this over medium/low heat until you begin to see it thicken and bubble. Here is where we added onion powder, garlic powder salt, and pepper. Then we put in the sour cream and the Ortega chilies.  Stir well and taste.  Add anything your taste buds say is lacking.  Call in your favorite taste tester and ask them too (Yes, we really do this.).

Then spoon it over the masterpiece and top with the rest of the cheese. Feel free to add extra cheese if you like it.

Cover with a foil loosely and cook for 20-25 minutes.

This creamy chicken enchiladas recipe also be great with sliced olives.
