Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Chicken Enchilada Casserole

I came to the realization this week that 90% of the meat in my freezer is chicken…. Lots and lots of chicken. I don’t know about you, but my family gets food bored, so the same old chicken recipes over and over again will most likely cause a riot in my home. So, I knew it was time to mix things up a bit. We love Mexican food in our home, and we usually give it a cultural twist because my hubby is Hispanic and I am Polish/German. This week I put some of that Zaycon chicken to work making this simple Chicken Enchilada Casserole! Chicken Enchilada Casserole This recipe is super easy, and will sure to be a hit! I also love it because it makes a great freezer meal! Put it all together and freeze it for one of those nights where you just do not feeling like cooking! To make all you do is take a 9×13 baking dish and place a layer of corn tortillas down…. Chicken Enchilada Casserole Layer on your cooked chicken… Chicken Enchilada Casserole Top with spanish rice…. Chicken Enchilada Casserole And some yummy cheese… Chicken Enchilada Casserole Top off with another layer of corn tortillas, cheese and Enchilada sauce…. Chicken Enchilada Casserole And bake! Super easy! This is also another great recipe for left over chicken! Chicken Enchilada Casserole
