Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas Made from Scratch

Firstly, preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric). This initial step is crucial to ensure that your oven reaches the desired temperature before proceeding with the recipe.

Next, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken, onion, green bell pepper, garlic, cream cheese, and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly as you cook until the cheese has melted and the mixture is heated through, approximately 5 minutes.

Now, it's time to add the flavor and moisture to your dish. Stir in a can of tomato sauce, chili powder, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to give your enchiladas a rich and savory taste.

With the filling ready, divide it evenly among tortillas. Then, roll each tortilla around the filling to create a compact and delicious package. Arrange these rolled tortillas in a baking dish, leaving some space between each one.

To add an extra layer of flavor and moisture, cover the tortillas with enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese.

Finally, place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake until the cheese has melted and begins to brown, approximately 15 minutes.
