2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, minced
2 medium fresh poblano peppers, seeded and sliced into strips
4 medium fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 (12.5 fl oz) cans chicken chunks, drained
1 medium lime, halved, or more to taste
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 tablespoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon chili powder

34 ounces salsa verde
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Pour remaining sour cream mixture over all enchiladas and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.
