Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare ingredients while the oven heats.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add shredded chicken, chicken broth, and green enchilada sauce to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Lightly fry each corn tortilla in a pan for about 30 seconds on each side.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture in a baking dish. Fill each tortilla with the chicken filling, roll, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  6. Pour remaining chicken filling over enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes, then garnish with sour cream and cilantro. Serve warm.
