One of Mom’s favorite recipes from Kris H. & Robin K.
Ingredients
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 can chopped green chilies
1/2 tsp salt
2 cans chicken (all white meat) OR 4 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
12 corn tortillas, hand shredded
Important Ingredient Note
Use Chopped Green Chilies from the Mexican Food section - these come in very small cans. DO NOT GET FIRE-ROASTED versions! The cans look almost identical but the taste is completely different.
Chicken Cooking Tip
Cook raw chicken breasts by placing in a sauce pan, just cover with water, and bring to boil. Turn heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour until no pink remains in center. Remove chicken, cool, and chop into bite-sized pieces. This keeps the meat tender and moist.
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Prepare the filling. Mix in a large sauce pan the chopped cooked chicken breasts, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and green chilies. Stir until blended over low heat.
-
Combine ingredients. Remove from heat and add cheddar cheese, green onion, and tortillas. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Assemble casserole. Place all ingredients in a 9" x 13" casserole dish and top lightly with grated cheese.
-
Bake the casserole. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 350°F until bubbling.
Serving Suggestion
This casserole is delicious on its own or served with Tostitos for extra crunch!
