Chicken Enchillada Casserole
INGREDIENTS
- 5-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 can of flavored crushed tomatoes (I like garlic, pepper and onion)
- 1 cup water/chicken broth
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 12-18 corn tortillas, cut into strips
- 1 small can of green enchilada sauce
- 1 large can of green enchilada sauce
- 1 medium tub of sour cream
- 3 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, or mexi-mix) and extra for top
DIRECTIONS
- I usually crock pot my chicken, but it can be done in a pot on the stove.
- Cook the chicken, with the canned tomatoes, onion and garlic, and water/broth. (if you want to spice it up more, you can add a can of ortega chilis or chopped peppers.
- I sometimes use red enchillada sauce instead of everything else).
- Cook until chicken falls apart when pierced with a fork. Shred.
- Mix together small can of enchilada sauce, cheese, sour cream and shredded chicken.
- Soak tortillas strips in large can of enchilada sauce.
- In baking rectangular baking dish, place one layer of tortillas, then one layer of chicken sour cream mixture.
- Repeat layering until out of ingredients (or you run out of room in dish!)
- Top with extra cheese.
- Bake in 350-degree oven until bubbly and warmed through.
- If you are planning to freeze it, I suggest not baking it until you are ready to eat it.
- YUMMY!
