CHICKEN VERDE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• I roast 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. Season the chicken with pepper, garlic powder and seasoned salt before roasting. I use my grill and place them on my rotiserie, keeping the temperature between 250-300 until juices run clear. Let the chicken cool, and use a fork or other utinsel to shred the chicken. Of coarse, any store bought already roasted chicken will do just fine.
• Brush tomatillos and garlic with 1 tbsp olive oil.
• Roast Tomatillos on the grill, until slightly charred. Once they pop and release water, remove.
• Cut the top of the garlic to expose cloves and drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil and roast on the grill or oven (on a baking sheet) for 10-20 minutes turning often. until slightly charred. Peel the garlic simply by squeezing the clove, the garlic should "slide" right out of the peel.
• In a large pot, saute onions in in olive oil over medium heat until semi soft (about 5 to 8 minutes) stirring often.
• Stir in the chiles, tomatillos, garlic, broth and the 2 corn tortillias that were sliced.
• Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat.
• stir in cilantro and salt.
• In small batches, place in food processor or blender and pulse until sauce is smooth, but still a bit chunky.
• stir in sour cream.
• Stir in shredded chicken.
• In a 13x9 baking dish, place just enough mixture to cover the bottom, add enough cheese to cover the sauce and then a layer tortillas on top of the mixture, repeat. Top your creation with the remaining mixture and the remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until cheese begins to slightly brown.

TOMATILLO VERDE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350 degrees.
• -Unpeel the tomatillos and rinse them in the sink. Cut them into quarters and throw them into a food processor (a blender can also be used).
• -Add the sliced jalapeno, garlic, as well as the squeezed lime and cilantro.
• -Add a few pinches of fresh ground salt and pepper and run food processor until all ingredients are blended together.
• -Pour mixture into a sauce pan over low heat. Let simmer for 10 minutes to bring out the taste in the tomatillos. They should slowly change from a bright green to paler shade.
• As the verde is simmering, you can start to get the rest of your ingredients ready for the casserole.
• -Cut up your cooked chicken breast and put it into your food processor. Course a few times until the chicken is shredded. Should yield just over a cup. Put into a bowl and put to the side.
• -Grate the jalapeno jack. Pending on your taste, a 1/2 cup - cup will do. Put into another bowl and to the side.
• I prefer a round pie dish, though a rectangular casserole dish can be substituted, as well.
• -Spray your dish with a non-stick spray and in the bottom, line with 3 corn tortillas and try to cover as much as the dish as possible though there will be overlap, as well as uncovered corners.
• The Tomatillo Verde sauce should now be a pale shade of green. Add the cottage cheese or sour cream and stir until well-blended. Leave on the heat for another 1-2 min stirring regularly.
• -With a spoon scoop onto the corn tortillas until covered. Add a handful of chicken and a handful of cheese until covered. Add a few sliced jalapenos for taste.
• -Repeat 3 more corn tortillas on top of the first layer; sauce, chicken and cheese.
• -You should finish the dish with 3 tortillas on top and enough sauce to drizzle over so they don't burn. I also like to finish with a sprinkling of cheese and a few jalapenos for garnish.
• -Put in oven for 30-35 minutes. Garnish with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. Cut into pie slices and serve.
