Chicken or Turkey Enchilada Casserole

This casserole defines “comfort food” for me! I usually make this recipe using leftover turkey after Thanksgiving, but you can easily use leftover rotisserie chicken breast and make it any time. It’s an easy recipe that your family or guests will enjoy. I use mild enchilada sauce, salsa, and chilies. You can ratchet up the heat levels to whatever you are comfortable with.
