25 corn tortillas (16 oz package=20 tortillas)
salt and pepper
cilantro and parsley for garnish
Tips

-Cook the chicken until no longer pink. Allow the chicken to cool, then shred and set aside.
-While chicken is cooking and cooling, dice one medium sweet onion, set aside. Grate/shred the block of cheese and set aside.
-In a large measuring cup, mix together the green mexican salsa and cream of chicken soup; set aside.
-Combine cooled shredded chicken, diced onion, plus .5 cup of the soup/salsa mixture in a large bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.
(-Heat up the tortillas in a microwave prior to assembling the enchilladas.)
-Pour .5-1 cup of the soup mixture onto the bottom of a greased 9x13" baking dish.
-Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of chicken mixture down the middle of each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese and roll up. Place seam-side down in prepared baking dish.
-Pour the remaining soup mixture over the enchilladas, then cover with remaining shredded cheese. Garnish with Parsley and cilantro.
-Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
