Ingredients
- Chicken breast tenderloins
- Olive oil
- Enchilada sauce
- Water
- Cilantro
Step 1: Prepare and Sear the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Season the chicken breast tenderloins with salt and pepper.
Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned chicken to the pan.
Sear the chicken for a few minutes on each side until it develops a nice golden-brown crust.
Step 2: Add Enchilada Sauce and Simmer
Flip the chicken over, then pour in the enchilada sauce along with a bit of water to ensure there’s enough liquid in the skillet.
Reduce the heat to a low setting and cover the skillet with a lid.
Let the chicken simmer in the enchilada sauce for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
If the liquid seems to be evaporating too quickly, add more water or enchilada sauce as needed to keep the chicken moist.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove it from the skillet.
Serve the chicken immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
You can also use the chicken to make delicious enchilada chicken tacos.
Enjoy!
