How to Make Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook chicken: Cook 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through. Shred chicken.
Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup chopped green chilies, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Assemble enchiladas: Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Fill each tortilla (about 12 corn or flour tortillas) with about 1/2 cup of shredded chicken and roll them up. Place the filled tortillas seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
