Ingredients

Cooking spray
12 ounces cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 cup sour cream (regular or low-fat)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (regular or low-fat), divided
1 cup shredded Cheddar (regular or low-fat), divided
1/2 cup mild, medium or hot salsa
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon ground chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 6 wedges

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat an 11 by 7-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine chicken, sour cream, 3/4 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, 3/4 cup of the Cheddar, salsa, chiles, cilantro, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Arrange half of the tortilla pieces in the bottom of prepared pan, overlapping pieces slightly to cover the surface. Top with half of the chicken mixture and smooth over with the back of a spoon to even the top. Layer remaining tortillas over top, and spoon over remaining chicken mixture. Top with remaining 1/4 cup each of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.

Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30 more minutes, until top is golden and bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

To reheat, bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 15 minutes.

Delicious and Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe ages ago when I first saw it on tv. My whole family loved it. I love this recipe because it tastes like... so much more time and effort has gone into it! LOL I am not a spicy food eater but, the green chilli isn't spice it gives a really nice flavor that isn't over bearing either. I grew up in AZ so it is wonderful to have good mexican food! :) I'd lost this recipe when I moved to my new house so I decided to hunt for it here-so glad to find it again!Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe without the chiles because we don't like spicy food. The salsa I used was mild with black beans and corn.... Delicious! I recommend this recipe...it's easy and so good!Read more

NEW FAVORITE!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We loved it. It was so easy and tasty. I also added corn/black beans/black olives as others did, but either way it would be... delicious. Great presentation, cut beautifully. This will be a regular at our house.Read more
