Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C): and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl: Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Warm the corn tortillas: in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave them between damp paper towels for 20-30 seconds, until pliable.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla: then roll them up snugly. Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the olive oil and chicken broth: Add half of the shredded cheese and stir over low heat until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas: then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes: or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
