Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Submitted by Jennifer Pizer
2 Cups cooked* & shredded chicken
2 Cups of Monterey Jack
Cheese, shredded and divided
1 1/2 Cups of
Enchilada Sauce (I like green)
1 Cup of Sour Cream
1/2 Cup of cream cheese
1 4oz can of diced green
chilies
12-15 small corn tortillas
In a large bowl, mix together
chicken, 1 cup of cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, green chilies, and about half of the enchilada sauce. Slowly continue
to add more sauce to your liking. The consistency should be lumpy, but also very creamy and juicy! Spray a 13
X 9 in. baking dish with cooking spray. Next, begin to rip or cut the tortillas into sizes that are no larger than a
business card. Layer them on the bottom first, and then continue layering them alternating with chicken mixture until
pan is full. Top the pan with the remaining cup of cheese. If there is any leftover, you could even choose to
add any remaining enchilada sauce at this time if you want.
Bake for 30 minutes (just
to melt the cheese) in the oven at 350 degrees.
*I cook 3-4 chicken breasts
in the oven at 400 degrees on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes. Take them out and cool. Then finely chop or shred
it.
