Recipe Summary Quick And Easy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole

I got my picture in the paper for this one! My friends' husbands always fall in love with this when I bring it to parties! My 4 picky kids eat it! If you want to skip the charring step, simply tear the tortillas into fourths so they absorb the sauce better.

Ingredients | Chicken Casserole Dish

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

garlic salt to taste

18 (6 inch) corn tortillas, torn in half

1 (28 ounce) can green chile enchilada sauce

1 (16 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 (8 ounce) container reduced fat sour cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.

Season chicken with garlic salt. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Cool, shred, and set aside.

With metal tongs, char each tortilla half over the open flame of a gas stove burner for about 1 minute, until lightly puffed.

Pour about 1/2 inch enchilada sauce in the bottom of a medium baking dish, and arrange 6 tortillas in a single layer. Top with 1/2 the chicken, 1/3 cheese, 1/2 the sour cream, and 1/3 of the remaining enchilada sauce. Repeat. Coat remaining tortillas thoroughly with remaining enchilada sauce, and arrange on top of the layers. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and top with any remaining enchilada sauce

Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly before serving.
