Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1.25 lb chicken breast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 3 Tbsp. flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz green chilis
- 2 cups Monterey Jack
- 12 corn or flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° and grease a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin together
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then coat with the spice mixture.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium, and once hot, add the chicken.
- Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes and then flip. (Should be nice and golden brown).
- Once fully cooked through, remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
- As it cools, in the same pan used for the chicken, melt the butter and mix in the flour.
- Consistently stir until golden brown, and then slowly mix in the broth.
- Once it starts to bubble, remove the heat and add the sour cream, green chilis, salt, and pepper.
- Shred the chicken and add to a bowl.
- Mix the chicken with 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
- If using a corn tortilla, heat each one in a pan for 10-20 seconds so they become pliable
- Roll a little chicken mixture into the tortilla, and add to the baking dish.
- Cover in the sauce, top with the cheese, and bake for 20-25 minutes!
- The cheese should be golden brown, and the tortillas a little crispy on the edges.
- Enjoy!
Notes
GLUTEN-FREE SUBSTITUTIONS: For those of you who need it, I always like to talk about substitutions to make a meal gluten-free. There are only two minor tweaks for this one. Flour is used to thicken the sauce. This can easily be swapped with gluten-free flour. My favorite is all-purpose 1:1 King Arthur. Second, avoid using flour tortillas. In my opinion, corn tortillas taste better with this recipe anyway!
