How to Make Chicken Enchiladas W Poblano Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roast poblano peppers until skin is blackened. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and chop.

  5. Add cream cheese, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Warm tortillas according to package directions.
  8. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and a spoonful of the poblano cream sauce.
  9. Roll up the enchiladas and place them seam-down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  10. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
