Chicken Enchilada Dip Casserole

"I could eat this every day! This is a recipe I've modified from a former student's parent. We have it for dinner w/rice and a salad, but I also make it frequently as an appetizer to take to parties. It's even better the next day leftover. You can spice it up or use all mild ingredients for those who don't care for spicy foods. I use medium salsa and enchilada sauce, which gives it a little kick, but not too much. Enjoy!"

  1. Wow! 10 Stars for this one. I made 1/2 the recipe, which filled a 9x9 casserole! 16 people gorged themselves. I made an inadverent mistake and added a small can of diced Jalapenos instead of diced Chilis. (had no idea how I even bought those.) They all, said it was a wonderful mistake! We decided this could also be made with canned chicken or even crawfish. Thanks for this great recipe. I think our whole city will be serving this a LOT.
     
  2. This was super simple. I served it as a dip at a party and everyone keeps asking me for the recipe. One of the guests had kids and even the kids ate all they could. This is fantastic.
     
  3. This recipe was very easy to make! I did it as a dip for a tailgate party, and everybody loved it. I spiced the chicken with salt, pepper & cilantro, and cooked it in olive oil. It was very tasty!

I'm a high school music teacher, turned elementary music teacher, who is also a mom. My evenings are busy -- I teach piano and voice lessons one evening a week, direct the youth choir at our church on another night, and sing with a professional chamber choir here in Pittsburgh on yet another night, so I'm always looking for quick-fix meals. I love to bake too, much to the delight of my daughters, but not my husband, who loves sweets, but is very health-conscious! It would be great to have a week of free time to make all the delicious recipes I find here on 'Zaar. Not sure who I'd find to help me eat them, but I'd do it anyway!
