Creamy Chicken Enchilada Skillet
This one-pan creamy chicken enchilada skillet is a quick and easy weeknight dinner, packed with savory chicken, rich enchilada sauce, and melted cheese. It delivers all the classic flavors of enchiladas without the fuss of rolling.
Let's cook.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Pour in the 10-ounce can of red enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chicken and sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
