When you want Mexican, this chicken enchilada skillet meal is the one to make. It's a great way to make enchiladas without all the work. And clean up is a breeze!
I love making Chicken Enchiladas but this skillet version so is much easier. It's become a hit in our household and part of our monthly rotation of meals. And it tastes good the next day if you have leftovers which only happens occasionally for us. We usually eat this alone but you could pair with some cauliflower rice or low carb tortilla chips. It's delicious either way. Enjoy!
