CHICKEN ENCHILADA SKILLET CASSEROLE RECIPE | EATINGWELL



Chicken Enchilada Skillet Casserole Recipe | EatingWell image

This simplified take on cheesy chicken enchiladas only requires one pan for cooking and eliminates the need to stuff and roll corn tortillas. Charring the veggies in a cast-iron skillet adds depth of flavor. Don't worry if you don't have one, because you can use any oven-safe skillet instead.

1 5-ounce package baby spinach
2 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken breast

Total Time 55 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Cooking spray
1 10-ounce can mild red enchilada sauce (I used my homemade enchilada sauce)
1 ½ pounds 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
1 4-ounce can mild green chilis
1 cup reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 large avocado (yield 6-ounces, cubed)
Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper.  Rub on both sides of each chicken piece.
  • Spray a small (8x6-ish) oval or rectangular baking dish with cooking spray and pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  • Lay chicken, cut side up on a work surface. Top each piece, in the center, with about 2 teaspoons chilis and 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese.
  • Roll each one up and set them seam side down in the baking dish.  Top with remaining sauce, cheese and chilis.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.  Remove foil and continue to bake 10-15 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Top each chicken roll-up with a few avocado pieces and cilantro and serve.
