Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of cooked shredded chicken, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper, then add 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and stir until blended.
- Lay the 8 medium flour tortillas flat and scoop a portion of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla, rolling them up tightly and placing seam-side down in the baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour for 1 minute, then gradually stir in 2 cups of chicken broth until smooth and slightly thick.
- Lower heat and add 1 cup of sour cream and the drained green chilies, stirring until creamy and heated through but not boiling.
- Pour the sauce over the assembled enchiladas in the baking dish, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and leftover Monterey Jack cheese on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden-brown. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
Warm tortillas slightly before filling to prevent breakage. Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Consider using a store-bought enchilada sauce for convenience.
