Tasty Tuesday: Mexican Chicken

Sorry I haven't had a Tasty Tuesday post in a really long time!! I have been terrible at cooking lately! We have had a lot of cereal and sandwiches for dinner. Tonight I changed my bad habit and cooked Mexican Chicken. I found the recipe here!


Ingredients:
- 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 2(4.5 ounce) cans chopped green chiles, divided
- 1 3/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup evaporated skim milk
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) light cream cheese
- 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
- crushed tortilla chips (I used Doritos)

Steps:

Combine broth and 1 can of chiles in a large skillet; bring to a boil. Add chicken, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from cooking liquid, reserving cooking liquid. Shred chicken with two forks, set aside.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 can of chiles and onion; saute 3 minutes or until soft. Add reserved cooking liquid, milk, Monterey Jack Cheese, cream cheese, and enchilada sauce. Stir in shredded chicken; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Place 4 tortillas in the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Spoon 2 cups chicken mixture over the tortillas. Repeat layers twice ending with chicken mixture. Spring with cheddar cheese and chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Enjoy!!
