Preheat oven to 400
Combine 1/4 cup cheese and next 7 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring just until moist. Pour mixture into a 13x9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until set. Pierce entire surface liberally with a fork, pour enchilada sauce over top. I also mixed some of it with the chicken then toped the chicken and sprinkled remaining 3/4 c cheese. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until cheese melts.

    I was a little skeptical about my husband on this one but he loved it!! It was very easy and I used canned chicken breast because I was short on time. Will definately make again. Thanks! - 1/28/09

    This is great recipe. I serve it with a fresh tossed salad and a tall pitcher of fresh squeezed lemonade. - 11/15/08
