Instructions
Step 1
Season chicken then add oil to pan and sear on each side for 3-4 minutes. Add 1 tbsp butter then baste the chicken. Cover with lid and cook for 10 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes then shred. (This makes the chicken so moist)
Step 2
In a pan, heat oil then add New Mexico chili powder, flour and stir for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, water, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and salt. Stir frequently, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add 3/4 cup of the enchilada sauce to shredded chicken and mix. Warm up tortillas in a wet paper towel if needed (the tortillas should be soft so they don’t break), then add chicken and cheese. Roll tightly and place in baking dish with seam side down. Add remaining enchilada sauce on top and shredded cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
