  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Garlic salt (to taste)
  • 18 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 (28 oz) can green chile enchilada sauce
  • 1 (16 oz) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (8 oz) container reduced-fat sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
  2. Season chicken breasts with garlic salt, place in the baking dish, and bake for about 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Allow the chicken to cool slightly before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Optionally, char tortilla halves over an open flame for about 1 minute until lightly puffed.
  5. Pour half an inch of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the baking dish. Layer with half of the torn tortillas, half of the shredded chicken, one-third of the cheese, half of the sour cream, and one-third of the remaining enchilada sauce.
  6. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients and then cover with foil; bake for an additional 45 minutes.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.
