Instructions
In a saucepan, bring the chicken, water and 2 teaspoons garlic to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
Remove chicken; reserve liquid.
Cut chicken into thin strips. Set aside.
In a skillet, saute onion in butter until tender.
Add remaining garlic and saute for 1 minute.
Add chilies and seasoning; saute 1 minute. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in chicken broth, cream and reserved liquid. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from the heat. Stir in 1 cup cheese until melted.
Combine 1 cup of the cheese sauce and chicken; set aside.
In a large skillet, heat oil. Dip tortillas, one at a time, in hot oil just until limp, about 5 seconds on each side.
Place on paper towels to drain. Spoon about 1/4 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon green onion.
Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
Pour remaining sauce evenly over tortillas. Cover and bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 3-4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
Garnish with remaining green onions.
