ONE PAN woohoo! These are my favorite type of dinners. Everything cooks together in one beautiful skillet and all the flavors just hug each other >> it’s beyond amazing. And this Mexican Chicken Skillet is no different!
We start with a simple enchilada sauce of sorts by whisking together olive oil, flour, and chicken stock with the best mexican spices: chili powder, paprika, cumin and garlic! Then we added cooked and shredded chicken plus all the best fillings like green chiles, black beans, corns, and red peppers! As my special ingredient, we also toss in some crumbled tortilla chips then top everything off with a good layer of cheese then bake it to cheesy gooey perfection in the oven! You down?!
