Chicken-Green Chile Enchilada Casserole
Cooking Light, December 2007

I couldn’t find this recipe on their website for some reason. It must be an old one. This was REALLY REALLY GOOD! Made my CW’s jealous the next two days for lunch, too. We didn’t shred the chicken, for some reason, but we definitely will next time. I will be making this again!!

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 4.5oz. can chopped green chiles, undrained
12 ounces cooked chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 10oz cans green chile enchilada sauce
cooking spray
14 6″ corn tortillas, quartered
1 1/2 cups reduced fat cheese, Mexican blend
fresh cilantro, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 375.

2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skiller over meidum-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Add chiles, cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in chopped chicken strips.
