Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tsp taco seasoning
6 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
1 cup salsa verde
Sour cream (optional)

Instructions

Cook the chicken in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat until golden brown (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from skillet to cool.
In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic in leftover juices until soft (about 3-4 minutes).
Shred the cooled chicken and combine it with sautéed onions, garlic, taco seasoning, and half of the cheese.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour salsa verde over enchiladas and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
