Directions

  1. 1
    If using a rotisserie chicken, pull meat from bone and shred.

    If using a whole chicken, you can broil or roast with seasonings you like.
  3. 3
    In skillet, make a roux using the unsalted butter and all purpose flour.
  4. 4
    To do this, on medium heat, melt butter and gradually add flour, stirring, ensuring there are no lumps.
  5. 5
    I generally cook this long enough to where it begins to turn a light brown, adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. 6
    Once roux is formed, stir in sour cream or yogurt.
  7. 7
    Gradually add broth.
  8. 8
    Once combined, add 1 cup of cheese until melted and combined.

    Set aside.

    In a 9 x 13 oven safe dish, coat bottom with a portion of enchilada sauce - just coating the bottom.

    Take a flour tortilla and place shredded chicken in middle.

  14. 14
    Roll up and place in dish with enchilada sauce.

    Can get about 8 out of this.
