    Well, the great thing about chicken enchiladas is that the chicken is shredded. Cut it into small pieces; like 2" or so, thin. Should cook up in 5 minutes. If you are unsure, just rip open a piece and make sure the pink is gone. As long as all the pieces are about the same size, they will all cook in the same amount of time.

    Season before cooking so it is very flavorful!

    Shred the chicken. set aside.

    Take the tortillas and heat in a little oil, literally like a tsp in the pan (so they become rollable). Dip in canned enchilada sauce, fill with chicken and roll. Place in baking pan, seam down. Sprinkle with low fat cheese and bake until melted.

    DONE! and delicious!

    I just made these the other night!! I cooked to skinless, boneless chicken breasts in a frying pan with Pam. When they were done, I shredded the chicken and added 2/3 can of Old El Paso enchilada sauce. I placed the mixture in Fat free tortillas, rolled them up and placed them seam side down in a baking dish. Then pour the remaining can of sauce, plus one full can of sauce over them, top with low fat mexican style shredded cheese and bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. I served it with low fat sour cream, sliced red and yellow peppers (raw), and sliced avocado. They were really tasty and my husband loved them!! Good luck.

    If you don't like cooking meat, you can pick up one of those rotisserie chickens from the grocery store - they're really good in chicken enchiladas and add a lot of flavor.
