Method
Chicken Filling Preparation
Cook the Chicken
In a pot, bring water to a boil and add chicken breasts. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and shred the chicken.

Enchilada Assembly
Prepare Tortillas
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
Assemble Enchiladas
Spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, place a scoop of the chicken filling in the center, sprinkle with cheese, and roll it up. Place seam side down in the baking dish.
Add Sauce and Cheese
Once all tortillas are filled and placed in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top.
