Steps:

  1. Full disclosure here; I actually used about 2 lbs. of chicken breast since I wanted leftovers and extra protein. Cut up the chicken.
  2. chopping chicken
     
  3. Place the chicken in a pot with 1/3 of the Enchilada sauce. No extra water needed if you cook it slowly and stir often. I put on a lid to help capture the steam and help it cook but keep stirring until the chicken releases it's juices and helps with the liquid in the pot.
