Instructions
- Boil the chicken breast in enough water just to cover it.
- When the chicken breast is cooked and cooled, shred it and put it aside. Keep ½ cup of the chicken stock.
- In another cooking pot, boil the green tomatillos with half of the onion and the garlic.
- Once the tomatillos are soft, put them in a blender along with the onion, the garlic, the green chilli and the chicken stock. Blend until mixed.
- Pour the blended sauce into a skillet, season it with salt and pepper and let it cook over medium heat for 2 min.
- In another skillet, warm some oil over low heat.
- Once the oil is warm enough, dip each tortilla just enough to make them soft.
- After that, dip each tortilla again in the skillet with the green sauce until they are fully coated.
- Fill each tortilla with the shredded chicken breast and fold them in half.
- Serve the enchiladas and pour the rest of the sauce on top with a little bit of sour cream, sliced onion and grated cheese. Enjoy!

Note: You can use cheddar or manchego cheese and melt them in the oven for a ‘au gratin’ touch.
