This Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Casserole has quickly become one of our favorites recipes to make. And eat. I really love how simple these types of casseroles are to make.

It's amazing how a handful of simple ingredients baked together can be so flavorful. I think what sets this chicken enchilada casserole apart from others is the combination of the green chilies and the cream of chicken soup. A yummy combination in my book.

Feel free to substitute the Mexican Blend Cheese if you have a hard time finding it at your local grocery store. I think a nice Cheddar would work well with the other ingredients.

🐓 How to Handle Raw Chicken

Leave the chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
Be careful of dripping juices. Clean up immediately.
Do not wash raw chicken (prevents cross-contamination).
Wash all utensils and cutting board (if applicable).
If marinating the chicken, make sure you toss the juices before you cook. Don't ever use the juice from the marinade.
Wash your hands after handling raw chicken.

💭 Recipe Tip

If you want to make this recipe even easier, you can use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from your local market. Most rotisserie chickens yield over 4 cups of shredded chicken so you will have some leftover for other recipes!
