Recipe Challenge Day 5: Chicken Enchilada Casserole
February 6, 2014
This is a very quick an easy dinner for those busy nights. I like that you can do this with either left over chicken ( turkey would do in a pinch ) or buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the life out of it to make this. Layer your ingredients, stuff it in the oven dinner is ready in thirty minutes. No fuss, no fancy ingredients. A friend gave me this and it was so nice not to have to roll the tortillas, or dip them in sauce, make a big deal out of a dish that the whole family will like. It saved me time , and everyone liked it!
Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken, cooked and shredded
1 can enchilada sauce
1/2 can corn
1/2 can black beans – rinsed
1/2 cup chopped onions
4 Tortillas ( I used GF ones it comes out so tasty!)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
1 jar sliced black olives, drained
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F
Pour a little of the sauce to the bottom of a foil lined 8×11 baking dish. Top it with two or three tortillas. Evenly layer the chicken on top of the tortillas Pour a little more sauce on top.
Mix your beans, corn and onion together and spread it over the chicken. Layer with some of the cheese. Top with two or three more tortillas and more sauce. Top with the cheese and optional black sliced olives on top.
Cook for about 30 minutes or until cheese is all melted and dish is heated through.
Enjoy!

Ah, so this is another recipe where I can use my canned black beans. I like enchiladas and that chicken is in this recipe too. Will keep the link for future reference 😉

Not only does it look divine, I bet it tastes great too. I love olives so I'll add a few more to mine.

Oh that looks so cheesy and gooey and yummy! I'll leave the olives off but everything is a must!

This looks so delicious. I would be eating the olives by myself but I think I could slide this by my family.

Hubby would have a field day with this. He loves all the ingredients including the olives. I'm not a big fan of olives so will have to take them off but it does look yummy!

We do enchiladas here a lot. They're so yummy! I've thought about featuring one on my blog, but I'm sure my picture would just look like a sloppy mess. 🙂

Now this is my kind of recipe! I bet it's even better the next day after all the flavors have had time to marinate together a little longer too!

Oh that looks amazing! I like the addition of the black beans. Most recipes like this use a different type of bean that I can't digest. But I can eat black beans, so I like this version the best.

I'll have my girlfriend pick up some chicken on her way home and cook this up tonight, but I'll make it minus the olives, probably substitute green onions!

Oh Jeeze Melanie… another dish I might have to make. This looks really good. I might have to leave most of the cheese off my side though.

I have a child who could live off of black olives. Well, he's a young man now, but still…he could live off of black olives. I'll have to make this the next time he's home to visit!

All I need is the sauce, hmmm maybe this will be dinner tonight. Perfect way to reuse the leftover chicken from last nights dinner.
