Gluten- and Dairy-Free Chicken Enchiladas image

For the food-allergic set; tasty even for the regular guy. My husband and four year old (who hates everything) really liked these, as did I. You can serve these with a side of grated cheese for those who are able to have it. This sounds a little odd when you are following the directions, but it turns out amazing, I promise.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 chicken breast, cooked and chopped (can microwave it)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup rice milk, coconut milk beverage (not canned)
3/4 teaspoon salt
