Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by melting 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of smashed garlic and 2 chopped poblano peppers, sautéing for about 10 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
- Next, incorporate 2 more tablespoons of butter, let it melt, and sprinkle in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, stirring until it forms a thick paste.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Once simmering, pour in 1 cup of whole milk, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro and season with kosher salt to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of your creamy poblano sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Take your warmed corn tortillas, fill them with shredded rotisserie chicken, and roll them up tightly, placing them seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce generously over the top, followed by a sprinkle of shredded pepper jack cheese.
- Transfer your baking dish to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and garnish with additional chopped cilantro.

Notes
These enchiladas can be prepared in advance or frozen for later. Double the sauce for extra richness.
