I have been on such a comfort food kick lately. I made my Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti this weekend as my meal prep for work and Monday night I made this super easy, super yummy Chicken Enchilada Casserole!
I had some leftover chicken from my chicken spaghetti and a bottle of Trader Joe’s Red Enchilada Sauce that had been sitting in my pantry since my last trip to Dallas that I needed to do something with so I decided to make a modified version of my Zesty Salsa Chicken Casserole but with enchilada sauce. Genius, right?? Yassssssss.
It’s been so cold and rainy for the past two weeks that I sort of fell off the “eating right” train and fell onto the eating ALL THE pasta, chips, carbs, etc train. Ugh. Anyone else?? Fingers crossed the weather gets better and makes me want to get out of the house and eat better. On the plus side I have been to the gym three times in the past week and I took Sophie to the park and walked her one day! You know, the one day it was 70* outside. HA!
But seriously, this recipe is so easy to make and is super filling. If you are a Mexican food fanatic like me then you should definitely try it!! YUM!!
The full recipe is below. If you have any questions about it, leave me a comment or drop me an email!

That looks so good! I love casseroles, and I love enchiladas. This is perfect for me. Also, anytime you can make a recipe into a casserole, you should do it!
Chicken enchiladas are one of my favorite meals. I love the idea of turning it into a casserole. It makes it a lot easier to eat.

I have made chicken into Lodus many many times but I’ve never thought about making it as a casserole. What a great idea. That will give you a lot of leftovers and it tastes wonderful.
