Ingredients

  • 14 oz enchilada sauce
  • 3 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 2 chicken breasts

Steps

  1. Cut chicken breasts into 3 pieces each. Place chicken in a small pot, pour enchilada sauce over it, and cook covered on low to medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.
  2. Remove chicken from the pot and shred using two forks. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Spread 1/4 cup of the reserved enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Layer 2 corn tortillas, then 1/3 of the shredded chicken, 1/3 of the remaining sauce, and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat this layering twice more.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  6. Serve warm.
