Chicken Enchiladas with Cheese and Soft Dough

★Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works well)

1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce

1 can (10 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup sour cream

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 cup frozen corn kernels (optional)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking the onions)

Sliced green onions (for garnish)

★Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Cook the onion* Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened. If you’re using frozen corn, add it now and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Stir in the diced green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano, cooking for another minute before removing from heat.

Prepare the biscuit dough* Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters.

  • Mix the ingredients* In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sour cream, enchilada sauce, cooked onion mixture, salt, and pepper. Add the biscuit pieces and mix until everything is well-coated.
  • Assemble the casserole* Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top.
  • Bake* Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish* Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions.

Serve warm and enjoy this cheesy, comforting dish!!
