Chicken and Chile Verde Mexican Casserole

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Casseroles

This is quick if you have leftover chicken, remember to use mild sauce, if you use hot chile verde sauce, it will over power the flavors

"This recipe is a winner all the way around- easy, inexpensive, and quick. It's not high in calories or fat. It really comes across as a rich comfort food, too. My family loved it. This one is a keeper. I used mild enchilada sauce and pepperjack cheese. I served it with sour cream and a salad. " - Czwhiz

Chicken and Chile Verde Mexican Casserole Preparation

Preheat oven to 350*

Grease baking dish generously, the tortillas will absorb, this casserole will stick if you don't grease well.

Layer bottom with Tortillas, spread half the sauce, chicken, can Corn, can chopped Olives,

Salt, pepper, cumin Chiles and half the cheese.

Repeat layers. Top with some sauce, cheese and olives, salt pepper, cumin. This recipe needs salt because none of ingredients, besides the cheese are salty, I use Sea Salt and salt the layers and the top.

Bake uncovered for 30 min. then uncover for 10 minutes

( I use a pizza cutter to cut some tortillas in half, I line the straight edge of the tortilla up with the pans straight edge, and place 2 whole ones in the middle for my layers)

    I found this bland. This would probably be a good easy recipe to make for kids.

    I think it's very goods, could be a little thicker, I'm working on a flavorable thickener. Good job. Reverend Ken J. Gertner

    Very good flavors but a little soggy. My 5 year old had 2 huge plates.

    This was very very good. I added some extra stuff like rice and extra olive and some rotel! Usually leftovers last up to a week in my house this casserole lasted 2 days. I was told it was the best I've made yet!

    Delicious! Might tweak a little next time by adding some diced onion and adding some cilantro to top but very tasty
