Mexican Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This is an easy variation of a Mexican chicken enchilada casserole.

It is one of those Campbell soup recipes we all love because they are not only quick and easy to make, they are also fabulous.

Make It Healthier

Use whole grain tortillas, either wheat or corn, to make this recipe healthier.

You can also add more vegetables to create a healthy casserole recipe: Add sauteed mushrooms, chopped multi-colored peppers, even chopped tomatoes.

This easy casserole recipe comes together in minutes.

If you have leftover chicken (or turkey), here’s a great way to use it up. You can also cook the chicken breasts ahead and put it all together when you need it.

Everyone loves chicken casseroles and this is an easy dinner recipe that can be made up and in the oven in just minutes.

  1. Loved the Chicken Enchilada Casserole!

    by Johanna R

    My family absolutely loved it! I did however make my own tortillas instead of the store bought ones, which automatically make it delicious. I also cooked the chicken in butter and added a verry generous teaspoon of chilli powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and s+p as well as a dash of allspice. Also the torillas were given a generous layer of refried beans with green chiles.

    Ahhh it’s alright, I’d give it a 3. It was cheap, and did fill us but it wasn’t as good as I was expecting.

    LOVE your website. Happy to have found it. Made this recipe this week, pretty good! Next time I am going to use just Cream of Chicken soup and substitute the chopped canned tomatoes for 10 oz of a medium salsa.

    Thanks for your help in sorting out meals during the work week!

    From Karen:
    You are quite welcome Margo.
