Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups Green enchilada sauce
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 can (4 oz) Diced green chilies
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 12 Corn tortillas
- 3 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine green enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced green chilies, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture (about 1/4 cup) on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place 4 corn tortillas in a single layer on top of the sauce. You may need to tear the tortillas to fit perfectly.
Spread 1/3 of the shredded chicken evenly over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the remaining sauce mixture.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the Monterey Jack cheese and a small handful of cheddar cheese over the sauce layer.
Repeat the layering process two more times: tortillas, chicken, sauce, cheeses.
For the final layer, top with just tortillas, the remaining sauce, and the remaining cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly on top.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
