There are a few alternatives to this recipe. To begin with, this recipes uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but any cut of chicken can be used. If you are going to use bone in chicken, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
The spices we use are chilli powder, salt and pepper, but you can add the spices of your choice. I use salsa, but of course, you can use enchilada sauce. You can find it in most major grocery stores.
We us monterey jack cheese, but other cheeses can be used as an alternative.
