How to make White Chicken Enchiladas:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 pan or any baking dish.

3. In a saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth.

Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.

4. Stir in sour cream and chilies. Do not bring to boil. You don’t want curdled sour cream.

5. Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20 min; then under high broil for three additional minutes to brown the cheese.

Note: I used the addition of mozzarella cheese during broiling.
