Instructions

Cook the chicken by boiling, baking, or using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Shred it once cooked.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, 3/4 cup of cheese, garlic powder, and cream cheese until well mixed.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and taco seasoning; cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Add remaining cheese, cooking until thickened; then stir in sour cream and diced green chillies.
Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place in the baking dish. Pour the sauce over them and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for about 22 minutes; broil on high for an additional 3 minutes for a golden top.
