Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
1
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas for 5 seconds on each side to soften. Add more oil as needed.
2
Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
3
Divide chicken, 10 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among 12 tortillas.
4
Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
5
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add chicken broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in sour cream and green chiles, stirring occasionally. Heat thoroughly but do not boil.
6
Pour mixture over enchiladas.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.
