For those nights when you are craving enchiladas, but not all the prep, these one dish skillet chicken enchiladas are sure to be a hit. Filled with cheese, chicken, onions, enchilada sauce, and more, they are prepared and ready to go in less than 30 minutes.

This is one of my favorite meals! They are perfect for those nights when you are craving enchiladas, but not all the prep, these one dish skillet chicken enchiladas are sure to be a hit. Filled with cheese, chicken, onions, enchilada sauce, and more, they are prepared and ready to go in less than 30 minutes.

Chicken enchiladas are one of my favorite foods — especially this recipe. And even though they are super easy, there are some days I’m craving them, but don’t want to go through the various steps, and dirty up multiple dishes. So, the other day, I decided to make skillet chicken enchiladas.

I just went into the pantry and grabbed all the ingredients I needed (and took a few out of the refrigerator) and just started experimenting. There were a few times I wasn’t sure it was going to work out…but in the end, it was more delicious than I could have imagined at first. Forrest took a few bites and said, “This is really, really good!”

This dish literally only takes one dish. It does need to be an oven save skillet — if you have a cast iron skillet (which you should) — use that. It’s done in about 20 minutes (or less) and has all the essential flavors a yummy chicken enchilada needs — chicken, cheese, green chili enchilada sauce…the works! And, as a side note, I think one of the best things you can invest in for a cast iron skillet is a silicone hot handle holder…so nice for transferring hot pans to the oven!

I threw in a few handfuls of freeze dried onions and red and green peppers from THRIVE. I recently purchased a few canisters of food storage from the company, and it is one of my very favorite ways to save money and time when it comes to cooking. I purchased a can of freeze dried mushrooms, one of mixed red and green peppers, and then one of onions. While you can dehydrate them before cooking with them, if I’m making something with liquid in it, I just throw it in, and they rehydrate that way. It makes it so much easier when cooking because I don’t have to go through the trouble of cutting vegetables (hate this job!) and we never have half-used vegetables go moldy in the refrigerator because we forget about them.

From now on, we will be having an on-going online Thrive Life party, in case you want to purchase any Thrive products. If you set up an account through my party, you’ll get the best discount. You can find out more information about Thrive and how to purchase through my party here. I absolutely love having these products in my pantry, not only for everyday cooking but for food storage too. We literally use ours every day in regular cooking (this isn’t a sponsored post or anything — I just like to share my tips for quicker cooking!) This month (April 2014) they have their vegetable package on sale…I want to get it so much!

    After you fry the tortillas, do you remove them from the skillet? Or leave them in the pan and add the rest of the ingredients on top?

    I’m a little confused about the Italian seasoning I’m thinking
    I should use my taco seasoning for the Mexican dinner.

      You are welcome to use taco seasoning, but I always use Italian seasoning in my enchiladas 🙂 Weird, but delicious!

    This looks delicious! I LOVE enchiladas. We usually make enchilada lasagna, and just layer up our ingredients instead of rolling all of the enchiladas individually. I’m going to have to try it stove top next time.

      This recipe sounds really good and I would love to try it, however, I never buy the corn tortillas, my family doesn’t care for them. Do you think it would work if I just used flour tortillas or corn tortilla chips? Thanks!

        You totally could! We have made a similar recipe using flour tortillas and it turned out well. I’m not totally sure about corn tortilla chips, but I imagine you could use them as well. Let me know what you think!
