SHREDDED CHICKEN FOR ENCHILADAS, TOSTADAS, TACOS...
This is an authentic filling used for Mexican dishes such as: enchiladas, tostadas and tacos. You can easily double the recipe, as it freezes well. I always have some on hand in the freezer. Use this in place of plain shredded chicken; and it will kick an average Mexican recipe up a notch (IMHO). COOK'S NOTES: 1 whole frying chicken, giblets and excess fat removed, can be used instead of boneless chicken breasts.

Steps:
- Place first four ingredients in a pot. Add just enough water to cover the chicken.
- Bring to a slow boil, cover, lower heat to maintain a simmer and cook until done, about 20 - 25 minutes. If using a whole chicken; cook approximately 50 - 60 minutes.
- Remove chicken from pot, let cool and shred. (I cool my chicken in the refrigerator to be safe) If using a whole chicken; remove meat from bones and shred. Reserve broth.
- In a large pan, melt butter over low heat.
- Add the remaining ingredients listed, except tomato sauce, salt, and broth.
- Sauté until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in shredded chicken and briefly sauté.
- Add tomato sauce and ½ cup of reserved broth.
- Salt to taste.
