Marinated Chicken

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add diced chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Assembling the Casserole

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Prepare the Casserole

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the marinated chicken, cooked rice, canned green chile with pork, and half of the jack and cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.

  3. 5

    Layer the Casserole

    In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the corn tortilla strips on the bottom. Pour the chicken mixture over the tortillas and spread evenly. Top with the remaining tortilla strips and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Casserole

    Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare to Serve

    Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve with flour tortillas, sour cream, and your choice of side.
