How to Make Chicken Enchilada Casserole In Green Chile And Sour Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook chicken: Boil or bake 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through. Shred chicken.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (10 ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained), 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine chicken and sauce: Add the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir to combine.
  5. Assemble the casserole (or rolled enchiladas):
  6. Casserole Style: Spread half of the sauce mixture in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the chicken mixture over the sauce. Top with the remaining sauce and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Rolled Enchilada Style: Place approximately 3 tablespoons of the chicken and sauce mixture in the center of each corn tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with remaining sauce and cheese.
  8. Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
