Put prepared chicken into a sandwich or freezer bag and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer (I like to also keep the all-natural cooked frozen chicken strips from Costco in my freezer so that I always have some meat on hand for dishes like this).
With your chicken already cooked and chopped, it’s really just a matter of layering your ingredients in your prepared dish and popping it in the oven. So simple!!!
- 2 cups cooked chicken (diced or shredded, such as rotisserie chicken meat)
- 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Mexican cheese blend (reduced-fat shredded)
- 8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
- sour cream
- green onions
- sliced olives
- avocado

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
-
In a large bowl, toss together chicken, half of the enchilada sauce (about ¾ cup) and half of the cheese (about ½ cup).
-
Place 4 of the tortillas in the bottom of the prepared dish, tearing them as necessary to cover the bottom (overlapping is fine).
-
Top with half of the chicken mixture and drizzle with ¼ cup of enchilada sauce. Repeat layers one more time.
-
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining ½ cup of cheese, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes (until cheese melted and casserole is hot and bubbly).

Garnish with optional toppings!
