Chicken enchiladas with salsa verde are one of my favourite foods and this is a quick and easy one-pan take on them. Normally the chicken, salsa verde and cheese would be wrapped up in tortillas, coved in more salsa verde and cheese and baked until the cheese melted. In this version the chicken and salsa verde are cooked in a skillet, the tortillas are sliced and mixed in before sprinkling on the cheese and broiling until the cheese has melted. I like to add zucchini and corn along with mixing sour cream into the salsa verde for a nice creaminess! This skillet chicken enchilada is so easy to make and super tasty, especially when topped with more sour cream, cilantro, green onions and fresh diced avocado!

great quick salsa verde enchilada recipe, like confining it just to a skillet instead of the oven, thank you!
It is a very original recipe that I really like. Your photos make you want. I really like these combinations of flavors😋😋
Your recipes always look so delicious! I love following along, and making them. Nothing has failed me yet. Thank you, Kevin. Big smiles to you.
Very good it comes a cross between chilaquiles and enchiladas
Really good. Used yogurt instead of sour cream, pepper jack, and added jalapeño for extra kick. Made much more than four servings, I would say 6 to 8.
How many flour tortillas were used; I know it depends on the size but looking for an average number.
Use about 4 6-8 inch tortillas! Enjoy!
Wow! I just made this enchilada skillet tonight! It was delicious! My husband and I both loved it. We can’t wait for leftovers tomorrow night… if we don’t eat it all for breakfast or lunch! It’s definitely going on repeat! Thank you!
