In a small bowl, combine chicken, 1 cup of cheese, green chiles, salt, and pepper.
In a small skillet, bring enchilada sauce to a boil. Remove from heat.
Dip each tortilla into the heated sauce for a few seconds to soften.
Spoon ⅓ cup of chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons sour cream down the center for each tortilla (I usually put the sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut the bottom tip which makes it easier to squirt right down the center).
Roll the tortilla and place seam-side down in 8x8 (or 9x9) inch baking dish.
Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour the remaining heated enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes
FOR A 9×13 PAN… INGREDIENTS:
3 – 4 CUPS CHICKEN
3 CUPS MONTEREY JACK CHEESE
1 – 28 OZ. CAN LAS PALMAS GREEN CHILE ENCHILADA SAUCE
12-15 CORN TORTILLAS
1 – 2 CANS 4.5 OZ. CHOPPED GREEN CHILES
1 1/2 – 2 CUPS SOUR CREAM
SALT & PEPPER
Make ahead of time. Make the enchiladas as instructed, cover them with foil or saran wrap, and place them in the fridge for up to 24 hours in advance. To make them even better, take the excess sauce and place it in an air-tight container. Pour on the sauce and add the cheese before storing.FREEZE. We LOVE to freeze these Chicken Enchiladas and save them for later. In fact, we often double the batch and then eat one and freeze the rest for another night.
