   • In a saucepan, bring the reduced-sodium chicken broth to a boil.
   • Add lime juice, halved onion, minced garlic cloves, chopped cilantro, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and a dash of hot pepper sauce for a kick of flavor.
   • Gently place the boneless, skinless chicken breast into the simmering broth.
   • Allow the chicken to gently boil for 10-15 minutes on medium heat, or until it is no longer pink and cooked through.

2. Shred the Chicken:

   • Once cooked, remove the chicken breast from the broth and set it aside to cool.
   • Shred the tender chicken breast into a bowl using two forks, creating bite-sized pieces.

3. Reduce the Broth:

   • Increase the heat under the broth to high to allow it to reduce.
   • Simmer until the broth reduces to about one cup, intensifying its flavors, for roughly 20 minutes.
   • Remove and discard the bay leaf and cinnamon stick from the reduced broth.

4. Prepare Creamy Sauce:

   • In a separate bowl, create a slurry by whisking together all-purpose flour and milk until smooth.
   • Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering broth, whisking constantly.
   • Continue cooking the mixture until it thickens into a creamy sauce.

5. Combine Chicken and Sauce:

   • Add the shredded chicken back into the creamy sauce.
   • Finely chop the cooked onion and garlic from the broth, adding them to the chicken mixture.
   • Stir everything together until the chicken is well-coated in the creamy sauce.

6. Assemble the Enchiladas:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about a minute, or until they are pliable.
   • In a separate saucepan, heat the enchilada sauce until warmed through.
   • Add a dash of cinnamon to the enchilada sauce, stirring well to incorporate the warm, aromatic flavor.

7. Fill and Roll:

   • Lay out the warm tortillas on a clean surface.
   • Evenly distribute the creamy chicken mixture among the 8 tortillas.
   • Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling, creating neat enchilada rolls.
   • Place the filled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

8. Add Toppings:

   • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce generously over the top of the enchiladas.
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the saucy enchiladas, ensuring a deliciously gooey finish.

9. Bake to Perfection:

   • Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven.
   • Bake the enchiladas for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.

10. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Remove the enchiladas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
    • Serve these scrumptious Chicken Enchiladas with a dollop of sour cream on top for a creamy contrast.
    • Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
