I first shared it on the blog about four years ago, as a stackable casserole riff on my favorite chicken enchilada recipe. And in the years since, it has continued to be a regular in my rotation, as well as a total fave with family and friends. Layers of corn tortillas give this ultra-creamy chicken enchilada casserole some hearty structure, without requiring that you roll up individual enchiladas. While tender shredded chicken is a perfect fit, you can customize this family-favorite enchilada casserole with whatever protein you like.
Steps to make Amazing Chicken Enchilada Casserole:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9 x 12 glass casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Use a fork to break apart the chunks of chicken.
- Mix together the chicken, RoTel, & both cans of soup. The liquid in the can of RoTel will be just enough to thin out the chicken mixture to make it easily spreadable.
- Spread 1/3 of the chicken mixture in the bottom of the pan.
- Place 9 tortillas in pan to completely cover the chicken mixture. You should have 6 full tortillas that slightly overlap and cover from end to end and side to side. Break 3 tortillas in half, and use these with the flat edges toward the outside to cover the open areas. You should have 2 on either long edge and 1 on either short edge.
- Spread 1/3 of the chicken mixture covering the tortillas, top with 9 more tortillas (just like before), and spread the last 1/3 of the chicken mixture on top of the 2nd layer of tortillas.
- Spread the shredded cheese over the top, covering all of the chicken mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Top with taco sauce and sour cream (if desired).
We love it with smoky shredded BBQ brisket or pulled pork in place of the chicken, or even small. Prepare your enchilada sauce.; In large sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and green chiles, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. But make sure you use a good enchilada sauce otherwise it will overpower the delicate chicken flavors. All in all a great dish!
