This Iron Skillet Chicken Enchilada recipe is a delicious one-pan meal that we love.  It has a smokey rich flavor that is unique and that everyone in the family enjoys. Typically, we are both suckers for green sauce-style enchiladas.  Tomatillos all the way!  This love dates back to our college days, when we both fell for the creamy tomatillo-style enchiladas by frequenting Chuy's or the Hula Hut on Lake Austin. …
