Green Enchilada Casserole



While this is a tasty supper dish, I like to divide it into individual freezer containers and take it to work for lunch. It makes about 8-10 lunch servings--my very own Vagabond Cuisines!





Saute onion
Stir in chicken, 1 cup of cheese, soup, chiles, and enchilada sauce
Add tortilla pieces
Cover with remaining cheese
Heat until bubby!
Ingredients
  • 1 Large Onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 4 Bone-in Chicken Breasts, Roasted, Boned and Shredded
  • 20 Corn Tortillas, cut into small pieces
  • 1 Can (28 oz.) Green Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 Can (10.5 oz) Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 Can (4 oz). Diced Green Chilis (not Diced Jalapenos)
  • 3 Cups Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese (reserve 2 cups for top)
  • Sour Cream (optional)
  • Salsa (optional)
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In an oven-proof skillet or casserole, saute onion until translucent. Add remaining ingredients including only 1 cup of the cheese. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese. Cover and bake 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Notes
The original recipe called for a small onion and mild enchilada sauce. I had to modify, because the dish was too bland. Now I use a large onion and a medium rather than mild green enchilada sauce. Most of the time I use 2 4-ounce cans of green chiles, too. I buy bone-in chicken breasts and roast them ala Barefoot Contessa. I agree with her that they have more flavor cooked this way.  Roasting chicken
