Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and rinse the tomatillos, then cut them into quarters. Chop the white onion.
Place the tomatillos, onion, green chilies, and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and roast for 20 minutes or until they are charred and softened.
Let the roasted vegetables cool slightly, then blend them with lime juice and cilantro to make the green chili sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Shred the cooked chicken and add it to a bowl. Stir in 3/4 cup of the green chili sauce and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese until well combined.
Warm the corn tortillas in a hot skillet or microwave until pliable.
Fill each tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Pour the remaining green chili sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
