Cheesy Chicken Tomatillo Casserole image

CHEESY Chicken Tomatillo Casserole recipe! This easy Mexican dinner casserole uses 1 pound of tomatillos to make a creamy sauce that is layered with tortilla chips, chicken, black beans and cheddar cheese! I love to make this simple dish when my garden tomatillo plants give me too much and I'm left asking asking "What to do!".

Provided by Pamela

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound tomatillos, husks removed ((approximately 10 tomatillos))
1 small onion
1 small green pepper
1 jalapeno pepper (seeds removed)
1/2 cup cilantro
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound cooked, shredded chicken breast
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
1 15 oz can black beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Add tomatillos, onion, green pepper, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, garlic, lime juice and salt to a food process or blender. Blend until smooth and no chunks from the vegetables are left. Pour mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Add chicken to tomatillo sauce mixture and continue cooking for 10 more minutes. If sauce is very liquidy turn up the heat. Important: you want to try to reduce all the extra liquid or it will make your casserole soggy.
  • Spread 1/2 of the tortilla chips in a 8x8 baking dish. Add 1/2 of your chicken tomatillo mixture on top. Add 1/2 of black beans on top. Add 1/2 of cheese on top. Repeat one more time.
  • Bake for 35 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

A spicy chicken dish with a tomatillo sauce, best served over rice and accompanied with beans (black, red, or pinto are probably best). To increase the heat of the dish, you can always add more chiles - perhaps a serrano pepper.
