"This is one of our family’s "must have" recipes during breaks, when having friends over, for pot lucks, or really anytime. It is a great take on chicken enchiladas, and I created it as a casserole when my Buff, Carter, was tiny.  He and his brother couldn't eat a whole enchilada but definitely would eat a scoop of enchilada casserole.  As they grew, it just made sense to keep this format as they started to eat the equivalent of 1.5 enchiladas, 2, 3, ... you get the idea.  It was also a pretty inexpensive recipe. For the lean times, we could use a can of chicken, and if we were being “fancy,” we would "splurge" on a rotisserie chicken.  Still always delicious!" - ұԻ岹۴dzܲԲ
