Tis’ the season for comforting casseroles and hearty soups and stews – anything that maximizes coziness. This Chicken Enchilada with Green Chillies and Sour Cream Sauce is a perfect dish to add to your casserole repertoire!
I love dishes like this one because it takes up only one pan, it’s hearty and filling and can be made ahead of time. It’s down-home deliciousness at it’s best. I like to serve it with a Mexican Salad or Spanish Rice. It’s also perfect to bring to a potluck because it will shine in the sea of salads and desserts!
Make this tonight and you’ll have dinner ready in an hour! To make it even better, your whole house will smell amazing when it starts bubbling in the oven and your family will come running!
