Green Chicken Enchilada Casserole

I'm a big fan of one pot meals, mostly because every time I cook even the simplest recipe the kitchen looks like a bomb has gone off. What can I say, I'm an enthusiastic cook, and get excited to grab every bowl and throw ingredients into the air (and onto the floor - the dog loves it). 

I saw this recipe from I Breathe I'm Hungry and was immediately drawn to the one-pot-ness of it - plus her overwhelming enthusiasm for the amount of cheese involved. This definitely satisfied my Mexican food craving, made even more delicious by how easy it is.

Recipe from I Breathe I'm Hungry
