White Chicken Enchiladas


Looking for a Mexican type dish?  This dish has creamy white sauce and is so incredibly good.  It became an instant staple last night at the dinner table.  Ooooo's and ahhhh's and "This IS on next months meal plan right?!"  Needless, to say, I did some shuffling to make it happen.  I gotta keep the family happy. =) 




This dish puts together pretty fast.  Prep wise you'll need about 20 minutes.

  • 6 medium soft tacos 
  • 1 can (10ounce) chicken

  • 1/2 cup part skim shredded mozzarella
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies 
  • 1 medium onion, chopped



Instructions:



  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees.  Grease a 8x8 inch baking dish.
