Chicken Enchiladas with White Sauce

I search Pinterest.com a lot for recipes because I can't stand eating the same thing over and over again (I honestly don't even like leftovers).  I am always trying new recipes and I think I drive my family crazy!  oh well ;)  they get to eat new things a lot and can't ever say I am dull.. maybe sometimes bad, but never dull! HA!
I came across a recipe from Joyful Momma's Blog of Chicken Enchiladas with a white sauce and they are definitely a top contender for the best enchiladas I've ever made.  They are extremely easy to make and very good.  I have passed this recipe on A LOT because once I make them for someone, they want the recipe too! (yes, they are that good)..

10 flour tortillas (taco size)
2 C. cooked, chopped or shredded chicken
2 C. Monterey Jack Cheese or *Pepperjack
3 Tbsp. Butter
3 Tbsp. Flour
2 C. Chicken Broth
1 C. Sour Cream
1 - 4oz can diced Green Chillies

Preheat over to 350 degrees...
use a 9"x13" glass baking pan (or a little larger if you have one)
Mix Chicken and 1 Cup cheese, divide and roll up into the 10 tortillas and place in pan.
In a sauce pan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
Add broth and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
Stir in sour cream and chillies.  Do NOT bring to a boil, you don't want the sour cream to curdle.
Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
Bake 22 minutes and then under high broil for 3-5 minutes to brown the cheese

*we use pepperjack cheese sometimes because it is a little spicier
