What is a Chicken Enchilada Casserole?

A chicken enchilada skillet casserole is a one-pan meal that features chicken, cheese, and a zesty enchilada sauce. It is easy to make and can be on the table in less than 30 minutes.

It is made in a skillet, so there is less clean-up, and it can easily be customized to your liking. Add in your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, or green onions. I also have instructions on how to make it in your Crock Pot and Instant Pot

Chicken Enchilada Casserole Ingredients

• Chicken Breasts– You will need boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs.
• Flour tortillas– I used 8-inch flour tortillas, but you can use any size you prefer.
• Enchilada sauce– I used my homemade red enchilada sauce, but if you like it spicier, you can use green enchilada sauce instead.
• Shredded cheese– For this Mexican dish, shredded Mexican blend cheese works best.
• Salt and pepper– You’ll need a dash of salt and pepper for seasoning.
