CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE IN GREEN CHILE AND SOUR CREAM SAUCE
Not the most "healthy" recipe, but it's very tasty! Very creamy and rich enchilada chicken casserole. If you prefer the more traditional rolled enchiladas, all you have to do is place the chicken and sauce mix (approx 3 Tbsp) in the center of each corn tortilla, roll, and place in casserole dish with the seam side down...then cover the rolls with remaining sauce and cheese. I was feeling lazy, so I did it casserole style.

Steps:
- Directions Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. Mix the chicken together with 1 cup of the cheese. Distribute the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll up and place seam side down in the prepared pan. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Continue cooking over medium heat until sauce is thick and bubbly. Stir in the sour cream and diced green chiles. Pour the sauce in an even layer over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Sprinkle with cilantro just before serving.
Tips:
- For a spicier sauce, use more green chiles. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. Just be aware that the sauce will be thinner.
- To make the sauce ahead of time, simply prepare it as directed and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce over low heat until warmed through.
- This sauce is also great for freezing. Simply prepare it as directed and then let it cool completely. Pour the sauce into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the sauce overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours. Reheat the sauce over low heat until warmed through.
- Serve the green chile cream sauce over chicken, fish, or vegetables. It's also great as a dip for tortilla chips or bread.
