Chicken Enchilada Suizas Casserole

This is another chicken recipe that we have done recently! This is a Rachel Ray recipe and boy is it delicious! While eating, Chris repeatedly said he could eat himself sick on it, but he didn't! (Thank goodness!)

You can find the recipe off of Food Network here. 

Here's how we did it...and by we I mean Christopher....he was such a good cook and I was in the process of working on an arts and crafts project for the party for Holly and Marty! More to come on that later! So anyway...back to Chris cooking..

First off you want to broil the poblano peppers. They didnt have poblano peppers at the grocery store so I just bought these peppers. I dont remember what they are....Ooops! But anyway they cook in the oven (broil) for about 10 minutes.

 Next blend tomatillos(12 medium-large) ( they didnt have these either so I just used a can of diced tomatoes), and cilantro (2 handfuls). Peel and seed the poblano peppers and coarsely chop them before adding them to the blender as well. 

 We boiled our chicken (we used 2 chicken breast) and then shredded it.  It just says cook chicken. So we chose to boil it. 

 Heat 2 tbsp of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) in skillet. Add chopped onions (1 1/2 large onions), jalapeno (1), and garlic cloves (4). Saute in skillet until the onions softened. 

 Pour blended tomatoes, cilantro, and pepper in with the onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Stir in cumin (1tsp), honey (2 tsp), and chicken stock (1 qt)

Pour a thin layer of sauce to coat the bottom of the casserole dish. Then we dipped flour tortillas into the sauce to soften them up some. 

Layer 1: Tortilla

Layer 2: Shredded Chicken

Layer 3: splash some more sauce over the chicken.

Layer 4: Sour Cream (1 cup)

Layer 5: Cheese (1 1/2 c shredded Swiss Cheese, 1 1/2 c Monterey Jack)

Then cheese (1 1/2 c shredded Swiss Cheese, 1 1/2 c Monterey Jack)

After last layer top with remaining cheese. 

Place in 375 degree oven. Cook for 40-50 minutes.

 Take out of oven and enjoy how delicious it looks!

So So So Yummy! We will be using the recipe again and again!! Especially if Christopher has anything to say about it! I think I have found my hubby's new favorite!
