Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This is an easy way to make Enchilada's without having to take the time to roll them individually. The entire prep time is about 15 minutes and that is because you have to boil the chicken.
I like mine extra spicy so I add in some Jalapenos but they are not necessary.

I use 1 container of salsa in this recipe. It saves on buying onions and tomatoes and chopping. But, if you want, you can do that instead of the salsa.
Whenever I use salsa in a recipe, I recommend the fresh container called La Mexicana, in the produce section. It is SO good. It has less sodium and preservatives than the jarred kind, and I find it is usually less expensive. They are usually $2.00-$2.50

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. I would love to hear from you. Enjoy!
