ONE POT CHICKEN ENCHILADA RICE CASSEROLE



One Pot Chicken Enchilada Rice Casserole image

Everything you know and love about the flavour of Chicken Enchiladas.....but in the form of a rice casserole! And all made in ONE POT on the stove! I like the flow of this recipe because you don't need to measure everything out in advance. After cooking the bell pepper (capsicum) add the passata and chicken broth, then while that comes to a simmer you can gather all the spices. Saves time! This recipe makes a LOT. Because it is carb heavy, I think it is enough to feed 6.

CHICKEN ENCHILADA RICE CASSEROLE



Chicken Enchilada Rice Casserole image

My husband is a big mexican and tex-mex food fan and I am always looking at easy ways to make something new that the kids will also like. I usually make my own enchilada sauce and have some steashed in the freezer, which I recommend everyone finding a recipe for sauce they like because it is MUCH better than canned. If you don't want to venture into making your own (or just in a hurry) you can use your favorite canned variety. My family prefers Fritos as their crushed corn chip of choice but you can use whatever you have on hand or prefer. Also I used hominy but corn tastes just as good (I will list the substitution in the recipe.) I hope y'all enjoy it! This recipe can take on a variety of changes and additions and I am sure everyone will prefer it different, just like with enchiladas.
