Hey everyone! Here we are mid way through the week and I’m still talking about Tuesday! And I will be all week!
This Tuesday we took a day trip since our kids are on spring break. We went to a near by big city and had some spontaneous fun!
We did some glow in the dark golfing….
Had a cheap lunch with a fun view….
And then played some arcade games!
But when we got home we still had to have some dinner! So the night before I put together this Chicken Tortilla Casserole and threw it in the oven as soon as we got home!
Chicken Tortilla Casserole
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken
1 can green chiles
1 onion finely diced
Chicken gravy (recipe included)
1 clove garlic
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cups of cheese
12 flour tortillas
Gravy ingredients
6 tbs butter
6 tbs flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup of milk
Start by boiling the chicken for about thirty minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the gravy by putting the butter into a small sauce pan and melting it.
Add the flour and whisk
Add the milk and chicken stock from your boiled chicken and whisk until smooth
Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
In a large sauce pan combine 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock (again from your boiled chicken) chiles, chicken gravy, onion, garlic, sour cream, cumin, salt and pepper
Bring to a boil stirring constantly
Spray a baking dish with non stick spray
Cover the bottom of the dish with the sauce
Then a layer of chicken and cheese
Repeat this until there are three layers of each. End with cheese
I covered the dish in aluminum foil and left it in the fridge over night.
When you’re ready to cook put it into a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes still covered, then 15 minutes uncovered
This could be a great freezer meal too!
Sounds like a plan for Tuesday and who doesn’t love a good tortilla casserole.
