  1. 1

    Cook the chicken in enchilada sauce

    • Cut each chicken breast into about 3 pieces so it cooks faster.
    • Place the chicken pieces in a small pot and pour the entire jar of enchilada sauce (about 397 ml) over them.
    • Cover and simmer on low to medium heat for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
    • Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks.

    • Place 2 corn tortillas across the bottom of the dish.
    • Top with about one third of the shredded chicken, one third of the remaining sauce, and one third of the cheese.
    • Repeat twice more (3 layers total), finishing with cheese on top.
