Boil the chicken in water until done. Drain & chop into small pieces.

Layer covered tortillas in the bottom of the pan, it should take six.

Add a layer of chicken, onion & cheese. You don't want the tortillas to be completely covered with any one of the ingredients but you should put about half of the chicken & onion & about 1/3 of the cheese.

Add a another layer of the tortillas dipped in sauce.

Press down gently all over the pan.

Add the remaining chicken, onion and cheese mixture.

Add remaining layer of tortillas dipped in sauce & press down gently again all over the pan.
