- Note: To cook chicken, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- I added 1 chicken bouillon cube, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken and boil about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Shred your chicken.
- Wise tip: Shred your hot chicken inside the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Just attach the paddle attachment and set it on low.
- The chicken will be perfectly shredded in 30 seconds!
- No stand mixer, no worries.
- Do it the old fashioned way with two forks!
- Short on time?
- Use 3 cups pre-cooked shredded chicken breasts.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute chopped onions and garlic in a small amount of oil until softened, about 8 minutes.
- Add salt, pepper, taco sauce, green chiles, and chili powder.
- Stir well and cook 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup cheese and sour cream.
- Turn heat down to medium-low and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cheese has melted.
- Grease a large casserole dish.
- Spoon about 4 tablespoons of filling down the center of a tortilla.
- Roll it up and place in the casserole dish.
- Repeat for remaining tortillas.
- Pour enchilada sauce over tortillas.
- Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
- Bake in the preheated 350 degrees F oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and cheese has melted.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool 5-10 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
- Note: If making ahead of time, cover the dish and put it in the refrigerator.
- When ready to cook, pull casserole out of refrigerator 45 minutes before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake 30-40 minutes.
