Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe (Gluten-Free)

September 12, 2014 By Tia 4 Comments

Chicken Enchilada Casserole is so easy and tasty. Great dinner for left overs, too. | tiaskitchen.com/chicken-enchilada-casserole-recipe-gluten-freeNext month will mark 5 years that I have been blogging.

Yikes!

I remember when I first started writing my blog, Glügle Gluten-Free, I kept telling myself I was just writing information that I was going to add to my “website.” It was NOT a blog. Blogging was one of those things that those weird people did. You know, those weird people who have no life.

Yeah, little did I know. Blogs seem to be written by people who already have a hugely busy life and think, “I can add one more thing. Let me take hours and hours each week to write about food, saving money, etc.”

One of the things I noticed right away that I liked was the inclusion. Blogging is a group. A very helpful group of people. A community.

And whatever niche you are in that community can become very tight-knit. For example, when I started blogging about being gluten free, one of the people that welcomed me with open arms was Shirley of gfe-gluten-free easily. She always notices when someone new has arrived. And sends out the welcome wagon, so to speak.

One of the first Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger events I participated in was adopting Shirley and her Chicken Enchilada Casserole. Shirley’s Chicken Enchilada Casserole is awesome, so I suggest you try hers, too.

But hers has salsa, and I can’t find salsa without citric acid. *sad face*

Plus, I really wanted something with my newfound gluten free enchilada sauce. (Did you know that ready-made enchilada sauce has wheat in it? Yep, it does. But you can make gluten free enchilada sauce really easily by clicking here.)

So, I decided to swipe another recipe from my Step-MIL and make this Chicken Enchilada Casserole like veggie laden chicken enchiladas.

Now, I am not ambitious enough to roll these things up like “real” enchiladas, so I just layer everything. Like lasagna.

That way I get more chicken and veggies. And less tortillas. Nice and healthy.

BTW, it’s another one that the boys like. Always a plus in this house. They really seem to like different things. Like different from each other. Do all siblings do this? Is it the beginning of sibling rivalry?
