- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Salsa verde
- 8 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of the reduced-fat cheese, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chicken broth, and salsa verde. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and warmed through. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Spread 1/4 cup of the sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Lay out each tortilla and fill with an even portion of the chicken mixture. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Step 6
Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of reduced-fat cheese evenly over the top of the dish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
