Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)

• 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles

• 1 (10 oz) can green enchilada sauce (or homemade if you prefer)

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese, divided
