Chicken-Sweet Potato Enchilada Bake

It’s hard to make this look pretty, but it tastes so good

Ingredients

  • 1-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3-4 cups cubed sweet potatoes (about 3 potatoes)
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • 3-ish cups red enchilada sauce
  • 15 corn tortillas, cut into one inch strips
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. In an oven-proof skillet, heat your enchilada sauce through. I use a 12 inch enameled braiser. Salt and pepper your chicken thighs after cubing them. Add in your chopped chicken, black beans, and sweet potato cubes. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in the tortilla strips, then top with cheddar cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Let your casserole cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This is a meal on it’s own, but we had it with salad and fruit.

About Me

Hello friend, my name is Katie and pizza is my favorite food. Yes, I’m in my thirties and yes, I have three daughters that I’m raising and homeschooling and nagging, but I think you’d be most interested to know that I would eat pizza for every meal of every day and never complain. There was a brief time (ages 8-11) when I thought that mashed potatoes was my favorite food, but I’ve since come around. That being said, I don’t only talk about pizza. Here you will find slices of homeschooling life, home decor, cooking, musings, and an occasional funny meme. In fact, I think you will find a shocking lack of pizza content as a whole, but now you know the truth: Pizza is always close to mind.
