Chicken Enchiladas

As several of you have discovered our new neighbor "Aunt Bev" is an excellent chef. This is one of her recipes that is loved by everyone at our house.

8 flour tortillas

½ c. chopped onion

2 minced garlic cloves

¼ tsp. pepper

2 T butter

3 T flour

8 oz. sour cream

2 c. chicken broth

4 oz. diced chilies

1 c. Monterey jack cheese

2 c. diced chicken

1 small can sliced olives

In a medium saucepan cook butter, onion, garlic and ½ can of olives until onion turns clear. Stir in flour, add sour cream, chicken broth and chilies. Continue to cook and stir until thickens slightly. Remove from heat and add ½ of cheese. Fill tortillas with a large spoon full of chicken and white sauce. Place in a 9x13 pan. Pour remaining sauce on top. Bake @ 350 for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with rest of cheese and olives over the top and bake another 15 minutes.

*Cover with foil for entire baking time or they will be dry.
