Chef’s Note:
Drain and rinse the beans before adding them to the skillet. Canned beans can be quite salty and have a metallic taste if added straight from the can.
If you don't have a skillet, you can cook this chicken enchilada recipe in a large pot.
Ingredients
- 3 CHEF’S CRAFT® Flame Grilled Chicken Breast Fillets cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced

Directions
Heat oil large 12-inch skillet over medium high heat.
