Mexican Chicken Casserole
1 cup chicken broth
2 (4.5oz) cans chopped green chilies, divided
1 3/4 lb chicken breasts
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup evaporated skim milk
2oz reduced fat cream cheese
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 (10oz) can enchilada sauce
12 tortillas (flour or corn)
1/2 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese
Directions
1. Combine broth, 1 can of chilies, and chicken in crock pot and cook on low for 6 hrs. Reserve cooking liquid. Shred meat and set aside.
2.Preheat oven to 350*
3. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the other can of chilies and onion and saute' until onions are soft. Add reserved cooking liquid, milk, Monterrey jack, cream cheese and enchilada sauce; stir well. Stir in shredded chicken heating through.
4. Prepare a 2 quart casserole dish. Line the bottom with tortillas. Spoon 2 cups chicken mixture over tortillas. Repeat layers twice, ending with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake at 350* for 30 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
This was really good like this. Sometime I will prepare the chicken mixture and serve it as a chip dip or tortilla filling. Good and versatile.
