Ingredients
- 2 (10.8-ounce) packages Fresh Express® Mexican Style Chopped Kits®
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
- Cook chicken in salsa verde in a large, covered skillet over medium heat for 20 minutes, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Repeat with other tortillas.
