1 10 oz can red enchilada sauce
8 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

For topping (optional):

Pico de gallo
Guacamole
Sour cream
Chopped cilantro

Instructions

Mix softened enchilada sauce, cream cheese, and sour cream together until smooth.
Place chicken breast flat in the casserole dish pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top.

Notes

You can cut the chicken in half, chunks, or use chicken tenderloins in lieu of full chicken breasts to make serving easier and cooking quicker. Cooking time may be reduced and will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to a month.
