Notes

CHEF'S CRAFT Chicken can be found at Walmart nationwide! It's a great way to serve up delicious meals QUICKLY and easily.
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.
