If you love Mexican cooking, you will love this recipe. I always make extra to freeze for a later day. Nothing better than having a busy week and having a wonderful meal ready to bake in the freezer. I purchase chicken breasts with the bone and skin on and roast them for this recipe. Simply salt and pepper the chicken and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Then shred the chicken and you are ready to make enchiladas. Delicioso!
