Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Your lunch or dinner will be more interesting when you make Chicken Enchilada Casserole. This quick and easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe will show you how it’s done in the simplest way possible.

chicken enchilada casserole recipe

I like to make Chicken Enchilada Casserole instead or regular (individual) chicken enchiladas when I have other things to do. I like the idea that I can leave the Chicken Enchilada Casserole in the oven to bake while I complete my other tasks. I always enjoy the outcome of this recipe – I am sure that you will love it too.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole Ingredients

Before you proceed there are some things that I need to clarify. I prepared the cooked shredded chicken in this Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe by boiling almost a pound of boneless and skinless chicken breast for 30 minutes. Once the chicken is completely cooked. I drain the water and let the chicken cool down. It will be easier to shred the chicken using your hands when it is not that hot. As for the other ingredients, I got them all straight from the grocery to save some time.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole preparation

In my opinion, Chicken Enchilada Casserole is even better with hot sauce. You can add some hot sauce with your sliced portion of chicken enchilada while it is still hot. My favorite brand of hot sauce for chicken enchilada casserole is Frank’s Red hot — this is also the brand that I use when making Buffalo Chicken Wings and the wing sauce.
