How Do You Cook the Chicken?
Salt and pepper both sides of your chicken breasts and heat your skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly grease with cooking spray or a drizzle of oil. Place chicken breasts in the pan and cook until the first side is nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chicken breasts and brown second side, 2 to 3 minutes.
How Do You Make Chicken Enchilada Pasta?
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and cook the onion until tender. Add the garlic and red pepper and cook a few minutes more. Add the shredded chicken, green chilis, cumin, chili powder, salt and enchilada sauce until heated through. Add the pasta to the sauce. Stir in cheese until melted and sour cream right before serving. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
What Temperature Do You Cook the Chicken To?
The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius). A meat or instant-read thermometer is your best bet for determining the temperature of your chicken, and if you’re cooking a whole bird, it should be inserted into the thickest part of the thigh but not touching bone.
How Do You Shred the Chicken?
After the chicken is cooled for a few minutes I like to use two forks and pull the chicken apart until it is a shred-like look. If you are wanting to speed the process, using a hand mixer or blender does work; however you will want to make sure you don’t over shred the meat.
