Add vegetable broth, continuing to stir constantly until broth starts to thicken (just before boiling). Remove from heat when desired thickness.Preheat oven to 350 while assembling enchiladas.Inside each tortilla, place .5 oz cheddar cheese (I cut .5 oz slices from a block and then cut that in half to make a long line of cheese down the center, but shredded also works well) topped with a good amount of the chicken/spinach mixture (it should be 1/6th of the total mixture). Roll up and place seam side down in baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat with other tortillas and using all remaining chicken mixture. Pour all of sauce evenly over the enchiladas, using a spoon to spread over the tops, covering as much as possible.
