Step 2 – Then stir in the green enchilada sauce, salsa verde, chicken broth, salt and pepper.

Step 3 – Bring to a boil,  Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Then stir in the heavy whipping cream, Monterey jack cheese and cream cheese.

Expert Tips

• Chicken – Cook the chicken in a large pot that you will cook all the other ingredients. You will brown the chicken until cooked through, but you can also use leftover cooked chicken.
