Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
2
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
4
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce. Let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is coated in the sauce.
5
In a large baking dish, arrange 4-5 tortillas in the bottom of the dish. Spoon some of the chicken and sauce mixture onto the tortillas, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Repeat this process until all of the ingredients have been used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
6
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
