i love making chicken enchilada casserole because it tastes pretty much like a chicken enchilada but it's half the work. here is one version, i'll post the other another time. so let's get started. you'll need a package of chicken strips (or 2 chicken breasts), 1 can cream of chicken soup, 8 oz. sour cream, small can of diced green chiles, 6 or 7 corn tortillas, and a cup of grated cheese.

start by boiling your chicken for 30 minutes or until no longer pink. then in a medium saucepan, add your sour cream,

cream of chicken soup,

1/3 can of water,

and green chiles.

turn heat to medium-high, and stir until well-combined and bubbly.

spray a square pan with pam, then pour in 2/3 of your sauce.

about that much.

next, tear your tortillas into bite-size pieces.

like this:

next comes the chicken. this is where strips are easier, but it doesn't really matter. just tear up the chicken and layer on top of the tortillas.

like so.

now pour on your grated cheddar cheese.

and last, add the remaining sauce on top.

spread out evenly, and bake in a 350* oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly. make sure it's bubbly though, because this meal is NOT good cold in the center (which has actually happened before).

and...how anticlimactic. i forgot to take a picture of it finished. ah well. it's still good.
this is a quick and easy chicken enchilada. yum!

interesting, different than how I make it
ReplyDeleteyep, this was in mom's cookbook right next to the regular recipe, and it's better than the other one, i think.
