Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3
Add the roasted green chiles to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheese and cook until melted and smooth.
4
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat with the cheese and green chile mixture. Arrange the tortillas on top of the chicken and spoon some of the cheese mixture on top of the tortillas.
5
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
