CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE IN GREEN CHILE AND SOUR CREAM SAUCE



Chicken Enchilada Casserole in Green Chile and Sour Cream Sauce image

Not the most "healthy" recipe, but it's very tasty! Very creamy and rich enchilada chicken casserole. If you prefer the more traditional rolled enchiladas, all you have to do is place the chicken and sauce mix (approx 3 Tbsp) in the center of each corn tortilla, roll, and place in casserole dish with the seam side down...then cover the rolls with remaining sauce and cheese. I was feeling lazy, so I did it casserole style.

Tips:

  • Prep all ingredients beforehand: Diced veggies, shredded chicken, and grated cheese should be ready before you start cooking.
  • Use a large skillet: A 12-inch skillet is ideal for cooking the filling, as it provides enough space for the ingredients to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the filling, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary, to prevent them from steaming rather than searing.
  • Use a good quality sour cream: Opt for a full-fat sour cream for the best flavor and texture in your casserole.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: Once the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted, remove it from the oven. Overcooking can result in a dry, rubbery casserole.

Conclusion:

With its creamy, flavorful filling, crispy tortilla chips, and melted cheese topping, this sour cream enchilada casserole is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It's a versatile dish that can be easily customized to suit your preferences, whether you like it mild, spicy, or somewhere in between.
