Creamy Chicken Enchillada Casserole
I wanted a recipe that was focused more on the white creamy side instead of the harsh red spicy side that is in normal enchillada casseroles. I played around with the recipe for a bit and found that this one was the one the everyone enjoyed the most.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove skin. Use fork to remove meat from breast of chickens. Place meat in large bowl. Making sure there are no bones, stir the meat with fork until all meat is shredded. Refrigerate over night.
- 2
Add following ingredients to bowl of shredded chicken:
- 3
Add one large hand full of each kind of cheese to mixture.
- 4
Stir well. Mixture should be thick and creamy.
- 5
Cut tortillas into 1 or 2 in squares. Place single layer of tortilla squares on bottom of large glass casserole dish, making sure each piece over laps each other.
- 6
Scoop mixture onto tortilla squares. Smooth out as much as possible. Place another layer of 1 or 2 in cut tortillas on top making sure to over lap each peice. Press firmly. Repeat layering of mixture and tortillas until desired thickness making sure to press firmly. Leaving enough room on top about 1 in deep.
- 7
Prepare instant rice according to instructions on box. (I found that the serving size for two people was enough to cover one layer of the casserole)
- 8
Add rice to casserole dish. (There should be a layer of tortillas between the rice and the mixture)
- 9
Add remaining mozzarella cheese to top of casserole. Smooth out.
- 10
With the remaining sharp cheddar cheese create a border around the top of the dish. About 2 in wide.
- 11
Chop green onions.
- 12
Add olives and green onions to top of mozzarella cheese.
- 13
Place casserole dish on cookie sheet and bake for 45 min at 350°F. CAUTION: REMOVE CAREFULLY. CASSEROLE WILL BE HEAVY.
- 14
You may have left over casserole mixture. This will make great cassadillas for the next day. Place mixture between two flour tortillas. Then add cheese on top. Microwave until cheese is melted and bubbling. Garnish with slices of avacado.

Enchilada Casserole Enchilada Casserole
This is my go-to recipe. I love this recipe because it's easy, I can use whatever vegetables I have, and when I feel like something Mexican I'll make this. This recipe I have also converted into personal size enchiladas. I have this small rectangle glass dish that's a little smaller than a bread pan and I do the same recipe but just in smaller quantity. Instead of popping it in the oven I put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. So this can also be used for a very quick and fast weeknight dinner for one or two people.

Chicken or Turkey Enchilada Casserole Chicken or Turkey Enchilada Casserole
This casserole defines “comfort food” for me! I usually make this recipe using leftover turkey after Thanksgiving, but you can easily use leftover rotisserie chicken breast and make it any time. It’s an easy recipe that your family or guests will enjoy. I use mild enchilada sauce, salsa, and chilies. You can ratchet up the heat levels to whatever you are comfortable with.
