Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole is the ultimate layered comfort dish creamy, cheesy, slightly smoky, and packed with bold Southwestern flavor. Instead of rolling individual enchiladas, everything is layered casserole-style, making it faster and perfect for feeding a crowd. As a food creator, this is one of those recipes that looks amazing when sliced those clean layers of tortillas, shredded chicken, green chile sauce, and melted cheese make for a beautiful cross-section shot.
Green chile enchiladas are especially beloved in New Mexico, where roasted Hatch green chiles are a staple ingredient. The green sauce offers a mild heat with bright, tangy depth that pairs perfectly with tender shredded chicken and creamy cheese. Baking it all together allows the flavors to blend while keeping the tortillas soft yet structured.
This casserole is perfect for meal prep, potlucks, or cozy family dinners. It reheats beautifully and can easily be customized with black beans, corn, or even a layer of sour cream for extra richness. Serve it with rice, refried beans, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
