Poached Chicken Enchiladas with Red Sauce image

Did you resolve to cook more this year? In addition to saving money, eating at home also helps cuts out the added, unnecessary ingredients that often sneak into restaurant dishes. Cooking and eating in more often may seem like a challenge, but that's where these recipes come in; we know that life gets in the way, so you need meals that don't. We're talking short hands-on prep times (every recipe here requires 30 minutes or less) and foolproof cooking methods, like Instant Pot and single-skillet dishes.

Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with Red Sauce Recipe

Are you ready for the best chicken enchiladas of your life? While you could use a rotisserie chicken for this cheesy enchilada recipe, poaching chicken breasts in a delicately flavored liquid both creates succulently tender meat (that won't dry out as the casserole bakes) and adds another layer of flavor to the dish.
