Cook the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and shred the chicken using two forks.

Assemble the Enchiladas
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom. Take each corn tortilla and fill with shredded chicken, a sprinkle of cheese, and a little cilantro. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
