For the sour cream mixture:
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 cup sour cream
2 (7-ounce) cans jalapeño salsa
1/2 (7-ounce) can prepared green chile salsa
For the chicken mixture:
2 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless, cooked and shredded

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -In a blender, add the 1 bunch of the cilantro, the sour cream, the jalapeño salsa, and 1/2 can of the green chile sauce and purée until smooth.

Step 3 -In a large bowl, add the chicken, the onion, and the remaining green chile salsa and mix well to combine.

Step 4 -Pour enough of the sour cream mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to coat.

Step 7 -Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake the enchiladas until they are heated through and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
