I am always on the lookout for simple and easy meals. And these green chile chicken enchiladas are always a hit at our house! You can make them spicier (add more green chiles) or leave them mild as the recipe is written. And they also are great the next day for lunch!
The other bonus point about this meal is that they freeze well unbaked so I always make a second dish. It’s like another bonus meal for busy nights. For the chicken, I usually buy a rotisserie chicken that will do two recipes of the enchiladas.
Hope you enjoy these green chile chicken enchiladas! They really are one of our favorite family meals. So simple and easy, but super delicious.
