Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Patrick and I enjoyed this Chicken Enchilada Casserole last night! I substituted mild enchilada sauce because I'm not a fan of too much heat. I included the recipe below because it was requested over on my Facebook page.






Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
  2. 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.
  3. With metal tongs, char each tortilla half over the open flame of a gas stove burner for about 1 minute, until lightly puffed.
  4. 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
  5. Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly before serving.

Welcome

Well, Hello out there!

My name is Becky and I would like to invite you to view my dinner attempts and what goes on in my everyday life. I am recently married, work a full-time professional job for a major insurance company. I am also a Christian.

Before getting married, my mother did a lot of things for me that I am learning to do myself now. I left home knowing, in theory, how to fry chicken and a few other tidbits. It's been interesting the last six months learning to do these things!

So... here we go!
