Substitutes

Onion
Shallot · 1:1. Milder. Use a little more if you want the same bite.
Onion powder · 1 tsp per onion. Only when the onion was there for flavor, not for bulk.

Method

1
Heat the oven to about 350°F, or 350 to 385°F.
2
Use 1 pound chicken, and 3 to 4 chicken thighs.
3
Cook the pepper, the mushrooms, the jalapeño, the chilies, and the onion about 4 to 5 minutes.
4
The green pepper is less than 1/2 cup. The two mushrooms are less than 1/2 cup.
5
Mix in the chicken, the spinach, and the first half cup of each cheese.
6
A half cup of the cheddar and a half cup of the mozzarella go in the filling. A half cup of each goes on top. That is the same cup of each, not a second cup.
7
Roll that in the nine tortillas. That is all the pan held.
8
Melt the butter, stir in the flour, and do not cook that more than a minute.
9
Stir in the broth.
10
Add the sour cream and the cream cheese and cook about another minute.
11
If there is no cream cheese, use a full cup of sour cream instead of the 1/2 cup. Do not use both.
12
Pour the sauce over the enchiladas.
13
Mozzarella goes on, then cheddar, then jalapeño.
14
Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
15
Spinach, onion, olive oil, hot sauce, and chives go in.
16
Do not add salt. The chicken and the broth are already salty.
17
More pepper is fine.
18
Jalapeño powder or ghost pepper can go in.

My notes

Only you can see these. A reminder to add lemon, or hold the chile.
