One of my new favorite recipes is the white chicken creamy enchilada casserole. It is an awesome comfort food, and so easy to make, especially for busy weeknights. Even a picky eater would love this casserole dish! I like making enchilada casseroles rather than traditional enchiladas, as they seem easier to make and eat. For a traditional enchilada recipe, this one looks pretty yummy.

Ingredients

Cooked Chicken – Shredded chicken is the best. I actually use the chicken I have canned myself. I have canned fresh chicken breasts, cooked chicken breasts, and pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Sam’s (My favorite). That is a good option also for this recipe is to use shredded rotisserie leftover chicken.

Sour Cream

Milk – I used whole milk.

Green chilis – Green enchilada sauce or salsa verde can be substituted or added.

Cream of Chicken Soup

Corn or Flour Tortillas – I used Corn Tortillas, I think they are sweeter and sturdier and best for this recipe.

Garlic powder

Minced Onion or Onion Powder

Monterey Jack Cheese – Can substitute any cheese, including cheddar, pepper jack cheese, or Mexican cheese

Recipe Steps

Layer 2 1/2 tortillas on the bottom of a greased 8 x 8 inch baking dish. More tortillas can be used as desired and also a 9 x 9 or larger pan could be used.
