This is an easy dinner that can be quickly kicked up by adding some fresh pico de gallo, fresh herbs like cilantro or parsely, you could even add beans to your chicken filling. Garnis with your favorite enchilada toppings...sour cream, salsa, shredded lettuce., I like black olives.
WEEKEND ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
4 whole chicken breasts
1 onion, chopped
1 large can red enchilada sauce
1 large can green chili sauce
1 lb. grated cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, sharp)small corn package of small corn or flour tortillas
Poach chicken breasts with chopped onion until cooked, about 15 minutes. When cool, shred into small pieces and chop the cooked onion and place both into a bowl with the can of red enchilada sauce and some of the poaching liquid. (You can do this the night before or have it ready to thaw from the freezer.)
Spread a ladle full of the green chili sauce on the bottom of a 3-quart tinfoil casserole pan or a 6-quart Crock-pot. Cover with a layer of tortillas and a layer of chicken, followed by a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat until you have used all the ingredients and you end up with a final layer of cheese on the top.
Bake in a 325 degrees F oven until bubbly... or in the Crock-pot on high for 1 hour.
