Getting Saucy

Add your seasonings and allow them to toast for a minute before slowly pouring in your chicken stock. Continually stir as you pour it in to prevent any lumps from forming. Allow the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes and thicken. Set it aside until you are ready to use it.
Brown it Up
Heat your grill to 400 degrees and preheat your skillet. Add your olive oil and ground chicken to the pa. Use your spoon to break up the chicken and allow it to cook for 5-8 minutes until it’s browned. Add your enchilada sauce to the chicken and allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
