Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe

Print Recipe

A comforting and easy-to-make family favorite, this creamy casserole features shredded chicken, tangy green chiles, and corn tortilla strips layered in a rich, cheesy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 can (10 oz) green enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, green enchilada sauce, diced green chiles, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Add a layer of tortilla strips over the chicken mixture, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  5. Repeat the layers (chicken mixture, tortilla strips, cheese) until ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil (avoiding contact with the cheese) and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before garnishing with cilantro and serving.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver for this recipe.
  • To prevent cheese from sticking to the foil, you can spray the underside of the foil with cooking spray.
  • Allowing the casserole to rest for 10 minutes is crucial for cleaner slices.
