  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the green chilies, jalapeno and garlic. Cook and stir for a few minutes, until fragrant, then stir in the cream cheese and half of the Monterey Jack. As the cheese begins to melt, gradually stir in the water. Chop the chicken meat, and stir into the skillet.
  7. Remove from the heat.
  8. Spoon the chicken mixture into tortillas, and roll up.
  9. Place the rolls seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the top, then pour cream over all.
