White Sauce Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chiles

These White Sauce Chicken Enchiladas are creamy, comforting, and wonderfully mild with just a gentle green chile kick. Soft flour tortillas are wrapped around tender shredded chicken, then smothered in a rich, velvety white sauce and baked until bubbly and golden.

The homemade white sauce is what makes this dish shine. Simple ingredients like butter, milk, and sour cream come together into a smooth, luxurious sauce that coats every enchilada without overpowering the filling. Green chiles add subtle warmth and classic Southwestern flavor.

This recipe is perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or anytime you want something cozy and satisfying without too much spice. It’s approachable, filling, and always a crowd-pleaser.
