So, my boss told me I needed to make this MONTHS ago...by that I mean at the very beginning of AUGUST, and I just now got around to it. I printed out the recipe...it just got lost in my mess of other recipes and I completely forgot about it. But she mentioned it to me last week, so I was determined to find it and make it this week.
Ingredients:
8 ounces chicken, cooked and diced (skinned)
6 corn tortillas
4 ounce can diced green chiles
1 onion, diced
6 ounce shredded cheddar cheese
4 ounce can mushrooms, drained
1 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
10 ounce can Ro-Tel tomatoes
Directions:
1. Spray a 9x13" pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut tortillas in 9 pieces and use half in bottom of the pan. Use half of the chicken and place over tortillas. Repeat layers. Set aside.
2. In saucepan, dissolve cornstarch in chicken broth and cook over low heat. Add onion, green chiles, milk, mushrooms, salt, and Ro-Tel. Cook for about 5 minutes. Pour this mixture over the chicken tortillas. Cover evenly with cheese. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
The only complaint I have about this recipe is that it told me how many ounces of chicken, instead of telling me how many chicken breasts to use. I don't have a scale...so how am I supposed to know how much 8 oz. of chicken is? That's just a pet peeve of mine I guess. Anyway, I think 3-4 chicken breasts would do. I only used 2 (that's normally all I get out since there are 2 of us) and I felt it could have used some more.
The only thing I changed in the recipes was the green chiles. I was probably not looking in the right place at the store, but I could not find them anywhere. Unless it was meaning I needed to buy my own chiles and chop them up? Anyway, the Ro-Tel tomatoes had green chiles in them, and I just chopped up some jalapeno instead.
Other than that, no changes were made. And this recipe was amazing! Danny took the first bite, and I'm always nervous with him when I try a new recipe. And he raised his eyebrows, looked at me and said "This is really good!" I breathed a sigh of relief and tried it myself and I have to say, I'm a little annoyed with myself for taking so long to make this! The only thing I will do differently next time is to use more chicken.
