QUICK AND EASY GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Quick and Easy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

I got my picture in the paper for this one! My friends' husbands always fall in love with this when I bring it to parties! My 4 picky kids eat it! If you want to skip the charring step, simply tear the tortillas into fourths so they absorb the sauce better.

EASY CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

This is an easy and delicious casserole. You can use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Also, if you like, you could substitute cut-up cooked pork in place of the chicken. If your family loves beans, try adding 1 can of spicy chili beans, undrained, to the chicken mixture for extra flavor and fiber. Recipe is from Pillsbury.

EASY LOW FAT CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Easy Low Fat Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

This was an experimental meal, but when my guys tasted it, they said it was a winner. Very quick and easy, suitable for beginning cooks. You can embellish this basic version however you choose by adding chopped green chilies, black olives, etc. I like to add fresh lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and salsa on top at serving time. 1/8 of the casserole is 7 WW points. After obtaining calorie counts for each ingredient listed in the recipe from My Fitness Pal, the ENTIRE casserole comes in at 2200 calories. One serving would be 275 calories.
