1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2
In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add the chicken breasts, and cook for 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Allow to cool slightly, then shred using two forks.
3
Spread a few spoonfuls of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x9-inch glass baking dish to prevent sticking.
4
Place 2 corn tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping to cover the entire surface.
5
Layer the refried beans, shredded chicken, Mexican-blend cheese, and enchilada sauce, then add 2 more tortillas. Repeat the layering process once, finishing with a final layer of tortillas.
6
Cover the top with the remaining enchilada sauce and 1 cup grated Mexican-blend cheese.
7
Cover the baking dish with well-oiled aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
8
Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is starting to brown and sauce is bubbling.
9
Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes so it can firm up a bit before cutting and serving.
10
Top with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream, lime, or avocado, if desired.
