One Skillet Chicken Enchiladas
One Skillet 30 Minute Meal. Favorite flavors of enchiladas in an easy dinner idea.
Equipment
- large skillet
Ingredients
- 2 TBS cooking oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped
- 1 (10oz) can red enchilada sauce
- 1 (4oz) can diced green chilis
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 TBS taco seasoning (optional: only use if you want more Mexican flavor in your dish) Taste for extra seasoning.
- 8 corn tortillas, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mexican, colby, or monterey jack)
- garnishes: cilantro, sour cream, salsa, pico, olives, or green onions
Instructions
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Add onions and cook until softened and translucent.
- (Chicken must be cooked before hand. You can use rotisserie, baked, broiled, or boiled chicken.) I have an easy recipe for baked chicken that's very juicy and flavorful. You can adjust seasonings to it for a more Mexican flavored chicken. Just search my recipe blog for Baked Chicken.
- Stir in cooked chicken, taco seasoning (for extra flavoring, if needed) green chilis, enchilada sauce and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat then lower heat to a medium to simmer.
- While simmering, stir in corn tortilla pieces so the pieces are covered with the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes. Top dish with shredded cheese, place lid on skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until cheese has melted. Let sit for a few minutes for the tortillas to finish absorbing the sauce.
- I pair this with my delicious Easy Mexican Rice. (You can find this recipe on my blog also by searching for this side dish.
- Garnish with sour cream, green onions, cilantro, pico, salsa, and/or olives if desired.
This recipe is wonderful! My family and I prefer green enchilada sauce and I only had flour tortillas but it turned out delicious. Thank you Catherine. 🙂
Happy you enjoyed the recipe.
