Description
These enchiladas freeze beautifully and are fast to make. I like cooking the chicken breasts in my Instant Pot®, although a rotisserie chicken can be used for even faster recipe prep.

- 3 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- ½ cup water

- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
