Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 8 ounces shredded pepper jack cheese
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped poblano peppers; sauté for about 10 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in remaining butter, then sprinkle flour over the mixture, cooking for one minute to create a paste.
  3. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring until smooth. Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until silky. Bring to a simmer, then mix in milk and cook until thickened.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread some sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken, roll tightly, and place in the dish.
  5. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with cheese. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
