Green Chili Chicken Enchilada

Casserole is a quick and easy dish for
Mexican night! Make it your own with
your favorite toppings for a cheesy,
flavorful meal!

My family loves green chile chicken

enchiladas, but all that frying, filling
and rolling takes a lot of time! I wanted
to be able to make something delicious
without losing my afternoon. This
Green Chili Chicken Enchilada
Casserole tastes just like the traditional
enchiladas you love. However, they
take way less time to get to the dinner
table!

Served up with a little sour cream,

chips & salsa, or even guacamole. It’s
sure to be a hit with the entire family!
The use of green chilis plus green chili
enchilada sauce gives this dish extra
chili flavor! The extra layer of cheese in
the middle is a great touch, too.

Every time I make this dish, it’s always

different. I use whatever toppings I
have around the house so the finished
casserole gets its own flair each time.

I like to have sour cream, salsa,

shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and
jalapeños on hand when I make this
chicken enchilada casserole.

INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN

ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
Cooked chicken breasts – canned
chicken or rotisserie chicken also
work in a pinch
Shredded cheddar cheese or
shredded Monterey jack cheese (I
like a blend of both)
Sour cream
Canned diced green chilis
Green chili enchilada sauce
Corn tortillas
Cream of chicken soup
Salt and pepper

If you want to give this dish an extra

kick, throw in some jalapeños or a little
cayenne pepper! I like my green chili
enchiladas a little spicier, but my kids
don’t, so go crazy with toppings!

This enchilada casserole spends most

of its prep time in the oven. So kick
back with a frozen margarita and enjoy
the wait!

HOW TO MAKE GREEN CHILI

ENCHILADAS
1. Start by preheating your oven to
350 degrees F.
2. While the oven is heating up, mix
together your filling. Add the
cream of chicken soup, sour
cream, some of the enchilada
sauce, and a little salt and pepper
to a mixing bowl. Then, add the
diced or shredded chicken and
green chilis and mix it all up.
3. Pour a little enchilada sauce in the
bottom of your baking dish and
spread it. You want the entire
surface covered in sauce. After
that, cover the saucy bottom with
a few tortillas. I usually cut or tear
one to fill in the gaps.

4. Spread one-third of the chicken

mixture over the tortillas. Then
pour some more enchilada sauce
over the filling and cover with
more tortillas. Repeat this process
until you have three layers of
chicken, sauce, and tortillas. Be
sure to add a layer of cheese after
your second layer of chicken and
enchilada sauce. Like you’re
building a lasagna!
5. Top the third layer of filling with
more tortillas and the remaining
enchilada sauce. You want to
make sure to cover all the tortillas
with sauce to keep them from
drying out in the oven.
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese all
over the top of the casserole.
Then bake it for about 30 minutes,
or until the cheese is melted and
the casserole is bubbling.
7. Take the casserole out of the
oven, and let it rest for a few
minutes after cooking. This will
get you the cleanest slices when
you go to serve it up. Add
toppings as you wish and enjoy!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH GREEN CHILI

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
I love Mexican food night at our house
because I have so many options for
main dishes and sides! Mexican rice
and these delicious black beans are an
easy staple to whip up alongside green
chili enchiladas.

It gives those Mexican restaurant vibes

at home. Looking for a spin on the
standard side of rice? Try our Mexican
Mango Rice Salad packed with flavor!

My kids LOVE when I make Mexican

Street Corn. I love this Skinny Mexican
Street Corn – it swaps the butter and
mayo for yummy Greek yogurt. This
gives you the same deliciously
smothered corn taste without all the
extra fat! This recipe can be done for
corn on the cob or off.

Need a dessert to end the night?

Everyone loves the hands-on look of
Fried Ice Cream, and the taste in this
recipe doesn’t miss either! Our
Mexican Chocolate Cannoli Dip is
another great way to use your excess
tortillas AND eat chocolate. Win-win!
