So, am I the only one that considers football food to be, like, the best food ever?
I mean, I totally do not need a bunch of sweaty men chasing after a ball to eat chips and dip and wings and pizza. That’s not football food, you guys. That’s just lunch.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that I don’t also eat like a man during a football game. Because I do. And there is the added benefit of everyone else staring at the TV so they don’t see you loading your plate up with food for a fourth time. Total win.
So, because we’re all Hungry For Football this time of year, let’s talk about this Chicken Enchilada Skillet.
Guys, I was running out of daylight when I decided to make this. I had one hour to shop, cook, and photograph this dish. No joke, I was done with all of it in 40 minutes. It doesn’t hurt that my grocery store is about 1 minute away and that I know every aisle like the back of my hand.
Also, I cheated with the chicken. I was going to get a rotisserie chicken and shred the meat, but they were all out. That’s when I spotted the little container of pulled chicken breast meat right there next to the rotisserie area. Hello, timesaver.
This dish was beyond perfect for a football game or for a super fast dinner. You basically dump everything in a skillet and let it get hot. It could not get simpler or tastier.
The corn tortillas soak up the flavors and sauce like a champ.
My whole family gobbled this one right down!

I’m about to venture into cooking with cast iron after a long time of research and I have to say your blog is inspiring. Consider yourself bookmarked for future reference!

This was so good. With every bite my husband said, “mmmm mmmm.” Always a good sign 🙂 And so much easier than rolling all those enchiladas!
