Ingredients:
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
18 corn tortillas, medium
3 cups enchilada sauce
5 cups colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Boil the chicken in water until done. Drain & chop into small pieces.
3. Chop onion.
4. Spray a 13x9 pan with cooking spray.
5. Dip tortillas in the enchilada sauce one at a time, making sure they are completely covered with sauce.
6. Layer covered tortillas in the bottom of the pan, it should take six.
7. Add a layer of chicken, onion & cheese. You don't want the tortillas to be completely covered with any one of the ingredients but you should put about half of the chicken & onion & about 1/3 of the cheese.
8. Add a another layer of the tortillas dipped in sauce.
9. Press down gently all over the pan.
