Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 8 high -protein flour tortillas (approx. 50g each)
  • 1 cup non -fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup low -sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarc h
  • 4 ounces canned diced green chiles
  • 1.5 cups shredded low-fat Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, diced green chiles, and 0.5 cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until the mixture begins to thicken and reach a light simmer.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin until the sauce is completely smooth and combined.
  • Spread roughly 0.25 cup of the prepared white sauce across the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • Portion the chicken mixture evenly into the 8 tortillas, roll each tightly, and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining white sauce over the top of the tortillas, ensuring the edges are covered to prevent drying.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the sauce layer.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and slightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
