Ingredients:

12 corn tortillas
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 green pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp butter

Instructions:

Step	Description
1	Boil the Chicken: In a pot of water, boil the chicken breasts until cooked through. Once done, drain and set aside to cool.
2	Saute Onions: In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until softened and fragrant.
3	Prepare Creamy Sauce: To the skillet with onions, add the cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4	Add Chicken and Peppers: Incorporate the diced green peppers and the cooked, shredded chicken into the creamy sauce. Cook until heated through and well combined.
5	Assemble Enchiladas: Spoon some of the chicken filling onto each corn tortilla, then roll them up tightly. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a 11×13-inch baking dish.
6	Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over the top of the filled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered with a delicious layer of cheese.
7	Broil Until Golden: Preheat your broiler. Place the baking dish under the broiler until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
8	Serve and Enjoy: Remove the Pollo En Crema enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm alongside refried beans for a complete and satisfying meal.
