Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Add olive oil to a pot over medium heat. Add in onions and saute 4 minutes. Add in garlic and saute an additional 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir well.
- Slowly add in chicken broth, stirring constantly, until a sauce forms. Add in diced green chile, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, and salt to taste. Blend, if desired
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in chicken breasts and boil until cooked through, about 20 - 25 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the pot, shred with two forks, and transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Stir well.
- Warm tortillas up in the microwave for 30 - 60 seconds, until pliable. Add 2 - 3 tbsp of cooked chicken to the center of each tortilla, then top with 1 tbsp of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Pour green chile sauce over the rolled enchiladas (I use about a cup, but you can adjust to your preferences). Top with remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 degrees, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
- Divide chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in the sour cream and chiles, heating thoroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
I love to experiment with Mexican and Italian dishes. This is a recipe that a friend gave me that I tweaked to my family's liking. Instead of frying the tortillas, these are dipped in Chicken Broth. ;) You'll never miss the oil and the enchiladas are moist and flavorful. ;)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chiles, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes.
- Bring seasoned chicken broth and remaining chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Working one at a time, very briefly dip tortillas into broth to barely soften. Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet (you may need 2 or 3 sheets). Do not overlap or tortillas will stick.
- Divide 1 1/4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shredded chicken, dividing evenly. Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer, seam-side down, to a 9- by 13-in. baking dish. I can fit 9 into a casserole dish.
- Pour chile sauce over enchiladas, add large spoonful of simmered chicken broth (left over from tortillas) over sauce and top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned approximately 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream and spanish rice. Ole!
- Note: I buy a whole seasoned chicken and put in the crockpot and set for 10 hours. This cooks the chicken slow and makes it easy to shred and give these enchiladas more flavor.
FRED'S GREEN CHILE & CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
This is a great recipe for chicken enchiladas. I got this recipe several years ago when I worked with a local celebrity chef, and this is his recipe. I have however, made some necessary changes to make it not so high in fat. And 1 enchilada will fill you up!
