CHICKEN SUIZA

Chicken Suiza image

This dish is similar to some versions of Chicken Verde. I checked the recipes here and there were none quite like this one which I created several years ago. This is a real hit with my family. If you want more 'heat' just use a hotter Salsa Verde.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 5 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups sour cream
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 cup mild salsa verde (this is a green salsa made from tomatillos)
8 ounces mild green chilies (peeled or chopped, these are the ones made from mild Anaheim chilis)
12 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 medium flour tortillas, torn into medium sized pieces

Steps:

Cut the chicken in bite sized pieces.
Saute the chicken in a skillet until lightly brown with the salt and the pepper.
In a mixing bowl mix well the soup, sour cream, salsa verde, and chopped chilies.
Layer the ingredients into a 9 x 13 greased baking pan in the following order: sauce, chicken, torn tortillas, cheese, sauce.
Repeat the layering a second time.
It is IMPORTANT to end with sauce so that the cheese doesn't form a crust while baking.
Bake at 375°F for 30-45 minutes.
Until golden brown on the top.
Allow to stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve as a casserole with crisp tortilla chips and red salsa as a side.
My family also enjoys eating the casserole as a hot dip.
