EASY CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat 13-by-9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. When oil shimmers, add 2 cups onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, zucchini, and 1⁄2 tsp salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make sauce: In blender, purée tomatoes, chipotle pepper (if using), garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and remaining 1 cup onion and 1 tsp salt.
• Transfer cooked vegetables to medium bowl. Stir in chicken and 1 cup tomato sauce.
• Spread 1⁄2 cup tomato sauce in bottom of prepared baking dish. Top with 6 tortillas, overlapping to fit dish. Sprinkle with half of chicken mixture and 1⁄2 cup cheese. Top with 6 more tortillas, remaining chicken mixture, and 1⁄2 cup cheese. Top with remaining 6 tortillas. Spread top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until golden and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve each piece with 1 tbsp sour cream.
• Serving size: 1/12 of casserole and 1 tbsp sour cream

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F.
• Place a few spoonfuls of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish and spread to evenly cover the bottom of the dish. Lay 2 tortillas over the sauce, cutting them in half as needed to make them fit evenly.
• Put ⅓ of the chicken on top of the tortillas, followed by ¼ of the cheese and ¼ of the remaining enchilada sauce. Repeat the layers twice more: tortillas, chicken, cheese, sauce. For the top layer, use the last 2 tortillas, the rest of the sauce, and finally the remaining cheese on top.
• Cover the dish with foil that is lightly greased with cooking spray (to prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil). Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then uncover and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more, until sauce is bubbly and cheese just begins to brown.
• Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with green onions, cilantro, avocado, guacamole, sour cream, etc., as desired.
