Tastes Like Hot Chicken

Having slept on yesterday's conversation I awoke with the immediate thought, "What's for dinner?"

Chicken! Really. Says so right there on the package. Somewhere. Oh, there it is. "Chiken"

Close enough.

Again with the tight schedules we had to do something quick and fewer dishes are quicker or easier to prepare than Chicken Enchilada Casserole.

Here's the blueprint:

chicken
onion
corn tortillas
can of green enchilada sauce
can of green chilies
cheese
lettuce
tomatoes

First, the chicken was boiled with a chopped onion for about 30 minutes. The chicken was strained out, cooled and shredded, while the chicken stock will be used for something this weekend.

Then, a casserole dish is coated with some enchilada sauce, corn tortillas layered on, more enchilada sauce, chicken, shredded cheese and some chilies. Add another layer of corn tortillas and repeat until you run out of chicken. Grate a healthy layer of cheese on the top and bake in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Serve with lots of shredded lettuce and chopped tomato. Quick, tasty and filling. Yep, that's just what we needed for tonight.

Friday I have the day off so I'll be out shopping and thinking up something spectacular with which to end the week.

Until then, here's a shot of the remains of the day.
