White Chicken Enchilada Bake Recipe

white chicken enchilada bake
This white chicken enchilada bake is a delicious casserole that can be easily prepared for dinner. If you enjoy Mexican food and enchiladas this recipe is perfect for you. This recipe layers tortillas with chicken, a sauce, and cheese. You can cook the chicken fresh and then shred it or you can use leftover cooked chicken—the meat from a cooked rotisserie chicken will also work. The sauce gets a lot of its flavor from cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup and salsa verde. The salsa verde helps to add a little heat and Mexican flavor to this casserole. The casserole is topped off with ingredients such as black olives and green onion. You can add additional ingredients to this casserole as well such as corn and black beans. This casserole can be baked immediately or you can cover the casserole dish tightly, place it into the refrigerator overnight and bake it the next day. Enjoy.
