Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (10 oz) medium enchilada sauce
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet, cooking until no longer pink (7-10 minutes). Shred chicken using two forks.
  3. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom. Layer half the corn tortillas, followed by half the shredded chicken and more enchilada sauce.
  4. Sprinkle half of the cheese over this layer. Repeat with another round of tortillas, chicken, sauce, and finish with remaining cheese on top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Let the casserole rest for five minutes before serving. Top each portion with fresh cilantro and sour cream.
