Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    If not already cooked, boil or grill chicken until fully cooked. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Green Chile Sauce

    In a large bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced green chiles, chicken broth, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    If using corn tortillas, cut them into quarters for easier layering.

Assembling the Casserole

  1. 4

    Layer Ingredients

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large casserole dish, spread a layer of the green chile cream sauce at the bottom. Follow with a layer of corn tortillas, then a layer of shredded chicken, diced green chiles, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Casserole

    Let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and serve warm, garnished with additional diced green chiles or chopped cilantro if desired.
