What is a Chicken Enchilada Casserole?

A chicken enchilada skillet casserole is a one-pan meal that features chicken, cheese, and a zesty enchilada sauce. It is easy to make and can be on the table in less than 30 minutes.

It is made in a skillet, so there is less clean-up, and it can easily be customized to your liking. Add in your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, or green onions. I also have instructions on how to make it in your Crock Pot and Instant Pot

Chicken Enchilada Casserole Ingredients

Chicken Breasts– You will need boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs.
Flour tortillas– I used 8-inch flour tortillas, but you can use any size you prefer.
Enchilada sauce– I used my homemade red enchilada sauce, but if you like it spicier, you can use green enchilada sauce instead.
Shredded cheese– For this Mexican dish, shredded Mexican blend cheese works best.
Salt and pepper– You’ll need a dash of salt and pepper for seasoning.
