Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese, diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading it evenly to cover all of them.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides like rice, beans, or a fresh green salad.
