CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Chicken and Sweet Potato Enchilada Casserole image

Enchiladas are typically made from rolled up tortillas, but in this gluten-free, grain-free version, we're using spiralized sweet potatoes in layers, to make a lasagna-style enchilada casserole. Who doesn't love lasagna and enchiladas? This dish is packed with veggies and protein and saves well for meal prep and leftovers. The layers of enchilada sauce, sweet potato, spinach, black beans and chicken are delicious and make for a healthy weeknight meal. Depending on how you slice the casserole, you can make 6 giant slices or 12 slices. I recommend making 12 and serving with a yummy side salad or veggie, like some corn or string beans.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking spray, for the dish
1/4 cup avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1 pint (16 ounces) tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled
Two 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed
2 cups shredded chicken breasts (from a rotisserie chicken)
3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
4 cups baby spinach
Sliced avocado, for serving (about 1 avocado)
Small handful fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Prepare the enchilada sauce. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the arrowroot powder and whisk until combined, about 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and salt to taste.
  • Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the enchilada sauce cooks, spiralize the sweet potatoes. Trim the ends, then slice halfway through the sweet potatoes lengthwise, careful not to pierce through the center. Spiralize to yield chip slices. Set aside.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange a third of the sweet potato slices in a single layer, overlapping slightly to cover up any little gaps. Sprinkle half of the beans, half of the chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, half of the spinach and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly over the sweet potato slices. Repeat, starting with a third of the sweet potato slices, then the remaining beans and chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, the remaining spinach and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce. Finish the casserole with the remaining sweet potatoes slices and spread the remaining enchilada sauce over top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the casserole for 40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and the casserole bubbles, about 5 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes, then top with the avocado and cilantro before serving.

CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

I often make various versions of this flat enchilada dish, as it is quicker than rolling up the tortillas and tastes very much the same. (You could roll them for traditional enchiladas if you want to take the time.) This is one version I enjoyed, so I'm posting here for future reference. I hope you enjoy it too. I'm sure you could use regular cream cheese instead of the neufchatel cheese and plain cheddar cheese or Monterey jack cheese instead of the Mexican blend cheese and it would turn out the same. In fact, you could use pepper jack cheese and skip the jalapeno.

Provided by Cook In Northwest

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 slices bacon, cooked crisp
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped fine
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, chopped
8 ounces neufchatel cheese
2 cups chicken meat, cooked, roughly chopped
19 ounces green enchilada sauce
1 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon, then drain it on paper towels. Pour off most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoons in the pan (enough to saute the onion and peppers.) Put the garlic, onion, and peppers in the remaining grease and fry until translucent. Combine the cream cheese with the chicken, bacon, and cooked onion mixture. Mix until the cream cheese has melted or fully incorporated into the mix.
  • Spray a large casserole dish with Pam (or butter it or grease it lightly) to keep the tortillas from sticking. Alternately, you can pour a little of the enchilada sauce in the bottom. Put 4 tortillas on the bottom of the casserole. You want the bottom covered, so tear them into pieces so the entire bottom is covered. Put 1/2 of the chicken mixture on top of the tortillas. Layer another 4 tortillas on top, tearing to fit as before. Put the remaining chicken mixture on top and cover it with the remaining tortillas, tearing to fit as before. Pour the enchilada sauce over all. Top with the shredded cheese. Bake about 30 minute at 350F or until the center has puffed a little and is lightly browned.

CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

This recipe belonged to my Mother-in-law, it was my husband's favorite when he was a kid. It is a little timely, however very good, and my kids like it. I've found that the red enchilada sauce I use (Old El Paso) only comes in a big can here, so if you can find a smaller can, that will be perfect. You always have more sauce than anything. Hope you enjoy this recipe, we have!!
