Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole - 4 ingredients is all it takes to make this popular Mexican dish. It's cheesy, it's spicy, it's sinfully delicious.

Provided by Joanna Cismaru

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound chicken breasts ( boneless and skinless (about 2 large chicken breasts))
14 ounce Enchilada sauce
6 medium corn tortillas
3 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)

Steps:

  • Cut each chicken breast in about 3 pieces, so that it cooks faster and put it in a small pot. Pour Enchilada sauce over it and cook covered on low to medium heat until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. No water is needed, the chicken will cook in the Enchilada sauce. Make sure you stir occasionally so that it doesn't stick to the bottom.
  • Remove chicken from the pot and shred with two forks.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
  • Start layering the casserole. Start with about 1/4 cup of the leftover Enchilada sauce over the bottom of a baking dish. I used a longer baking dish, so that I can put 2 corn tortillas across. Place 2 tortillas on the bottom, top with 1/3 of the chicken and 1/3 of the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese and repeat starting with 2 more tortillas, then chicken, sauce, cheese. Repeat with last layer with the remaining ingredients, tortillas, chicken, sauce and cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes uncovered, until bubbly and cheese has melted and started to brown on top.
  • Serve warm.

CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE II



Chicken Enchilada Casserole II image

A great enchilada recipe for a hot summer night, and all you have to do is pair it with a salad and rice! It's best when you let it cool and set for a bit (but my sister likes it best piled on top of tortilla chips). Serve with Mexican rice and a salad if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 cups cooked chicken or 2 cups cooked turkey
1 (4 ounce) can green chili peppers, chopped
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine

1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese
12 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan cook onion and green pepper in the 2 tablespoons of butter until tender.
  • Combine onion mixture in a bowl with chopped chicken and green chili peppers.
  • Set aside.
  • For sauce, in the same pan melt 3 tablespoons butter.
  • Stir in flour, coriander and salt.
  • Stir in chicken broth all at once.
  • Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
  • Stir 1/2 cup of the sauce into the chicken mixture.
  • Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture.
  • Roll up and arrange in a 13x19x2 baking dish.
  • Pour remaining sauce over and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered in a 350 oven about 25 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Can be made ahead of time and frozen. Place a large sheet of heavy duty foil in your baking dish with enough foil over the end to fold up and over the frozen casserole. Make the casserole up until you are ready to bake it. Freeze it solid. Remove frozen casserole from your dish and encase in the excess foil for storage. This frees up the dish for other meals. When you wish to heat it, remove foil from the still frozen casserole, and place back into the dish that you froze it in initially to thaw; bake as directed.

This recipe appears by special request. Creamy chicken and green chilies I use the regular sized tortillas.. not the large ones.I overlap the tortillas to make the layer. I make it up in an oblong serving dish, I think it is about a 9 1/2 inch by 11 inch pan. But any size you would put 1 full cake mix into will work well . I love this recipe.
