Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20-30 minutes

Total Time: 30-40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb raw chicken (I used breast) cut up
  • 5 -6 corn tortillas
  • 8 oz Enchilada sauce
  • 2/3 cup Monterey or your favorite melting cheese (I used veggie cheese)
  • Spritz spray oil
ingredients
 

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.
