Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe
Chicken enchilada casserole provides great recipes for hot summer nights when easy preparation is essential, paired perfectly with fresh salads for complete meals. This seasonal recipe approach recognizes that casserole cooking generates less kitchen heat while still providing satisfying, homemade Mexican flavors. The casserole format simplifies summer entertaining.
A great chicken enchilada recipe for a hot summer night, and all you have to do is pair it with a salad and rice. It’s best when you let it cool and set for a bit (but my sister likes it best piled on top of tortilla chips). Serve with Mexican rice and a salad if desired.
