Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb chicken breast, diced
    1 medium onion, minced
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    8 (8 inch) flour tortillas, softened
    1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack cheese or 1 1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided
    1/4 cup butter
    1/4 cup flour
    1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
    1 cup sour cream
    1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies or 2 fresh chili peppers, minced
Preparation
    In a frying pan, cook chicken and onion together in oil over medium-high heat until chicken is just done.
    Divide cooked chicken evenly between 8 tortillas; add 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese to each tortilla.
    Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in a 9x13\" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray.
    Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux, stir and cook until bubbly, and gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently.
    Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green chilies.
    Pour sauce evenly over enchiladas.
    Top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese (a baking dish may be double-wrapped and frozen at this point) and bake at 400\u00b0 F for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce near edges of baking dish is bubbly.
