Even though I am only cooking for my hubby and I now, I still like to make one or two family-style dishes and then portion them off for us for dinners/lunches throughout the week, and that is exactly what I did with this cheesy chicken and rice enchiladacasserole
They always crack and break, leaving a hot mess that’s delicious but not the prettiest. I used rotisserie chicken, eliminating the need to pouch the chicken beforehand
Then layer chicken mixture, cheese and repeat until all tortillas and chicken are used. In a large bowl mix shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, Pace® Salsa and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro
Cheesy ChickenEnchiladaCasserole (Mexican Lasagna) – This family meal goes together in a snap, feeds a small crowd at just a couple of dollars per serving, and is a recipe that your kids will ask for again and again
INGREDIENTS2 chicken breasts, diced to bite-sized3/4 cup frozen diced onions2 small sweet potatoes, diced1 can red enchilada sauce1. 5 tsp garlic powder)1 cup frozen corn 1 cup shredded cheddar cheesewheat tortillas DIRECTIONSPut diced chicken, onions, sweet potatoes, enchilada sauce, cumin, garlic and corn in crock pot. 2 chicken breasts. 1 can red enchilada sauce
It’s vegetarian (although you can add diced chicken if you’d like). I developed this recipe for Que Rica Vida – BTW you can find great recipes in that site, in English and Spanish
Make sure you roll the enchiladas tight and place them really close together in the casserole dish. Which ever sauce you decide to make, please note that the smoked chicken holds the key to this wonderful dish
Sometimes I will have a plan for a dinner that typically goes into the oven, & I will change it so I can throw it in the crockpot saving myself from the heat & energy the oven takes to make that meal
That’s exactly how I found this easy chicken and rice casserole from Kalyn’s Kitchen. You’ll find hundreds of recipes that include nutrition information and Weight Watchers points
