Ingredients
Cheddar cheese ¾ cup, shredded or 85g
Directions
- Heat the oven to 375° and lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Season chicken with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm half the olive oil, add chicken, and sear 5 minutes per side. Add enough water to cover, cover the pan, and simmer 7–10 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°. Transfer to a plate to cool, then shred.
- For the filling, set a medium pan over medium-low heat and add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the garlic and one-third of the chopped onions until softened, 2–3 minutes.
- Stir in one-third of the green chiles, the navy beans, 1/4 cup water, bouillon cube, and cumin. Simmer covered on low for 15 minutes, then fold in the shredded chicken and cook 5 minutes more until thickened. Remove from heat.
- For the sauce, melt the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped onions and cook until translucent, 3–4 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth; bring to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 4–5 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining green chiles, jalapeños, and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of the sauce in the prepared baking dish. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the chicken–bean mixture, roll, and place seam-side down in the dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the shredded Mexican cheese. Cover with foil and bake 20–30 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Let rest 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
