Layered Chicken Enchilada Casserole

    This was a smart idea rather than rolling all those enchiladas. I did add a little Italian dressing to add flavor to the chicken mix. Probably b/c I didn't have seasoning packets and used liquid enchilada sauce I had made which was on the bland side. I omitted the water then. I also added diced tomatoes. I like that this recipe doesn't call for anything creamy and I can control the amount of cheese which we did go easy on. Will definitely be making this again in the future. Thanks for submitting!
