CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE VERDE RECIPE

Steps:

• For the chicken, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the taco seasonings and salt and pepper.
• Heat a large oven-safe skillet or pan to medium heat. Add the chicken and sear each side about 2 minutes each. Add beer or chicken broth and reduce heat. Simmer about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and you can shred it with a fork. Remove from heat and add to a mixing bowl. Shred the chicken up with a couple forks.
• Add oil to the same skillet and heat.
• Add onions and peppers. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
• Add garlic and stir. Cook 1 more minute.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, cumin and oregano. Stir.
• Add the cooked seasoned vegetables to the mixing bowl with the cooked chicken, then add the tomatillo salsa and black beans. Stir to incorporate.
• In the same pan, spoon some of the chicken mixture onto the bottom of the pan.
• Layer on half of the tortillas, then half of the remaining chicken mixture and the shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, then remaining chicken mixture, then the remaining cheese.
• Set oven to broil.
• Set the skillet in the middle of the oven and broil for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted. You can also bake it at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, if preferred.
• Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve!

TOMATILLO VERDE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350 degrees.
• -Unpeel the tomatillos and rinse them in the sink. Cut them into quarters and throw them into a food processor (a blender can also be used).
• -Add the sliced jalapeno, garlic, as well as the squeezed lime and cilantro.
• -Add a few pinches of fresh ground salt and pepper and run food processor until all ingredients are blended together.
• -Pour mixture into a sauce pan over low heat. Let simmer for 10 minutes to bring out the taste in the tomatillos. They should slowly change from a bright green to paler shade.
• As the verde is simmering, you can start to get the rest of your ingredients ready for the casserole.
• -Cut up your cooked chicken breast and put it into your food processor. Course a few times until the chicken is shredded. Should yield just over a cup. Put into a bowl and put to the side.
• -Grate the jalapeno jack. Pending on your taste, a 1/2 cup - cup will do. Put into another bowl and to the side.
• I prefer a round pie dish, though a rectangular casserole dish can be substituted, as well.
• -Spray your dish with a non-stick spray and in the bottom, line with 3 corn tortillas and try to cover as much as the dish as possible though there will be overlap, as well as uncovered corners.
• The Tomatillo Verde sauce should now be a pale shade of green. Add the cottage cheese or sour cream and stir until well-blended. Leave on the heat for another 1-2 min stirring regularly.
• -With a spoon scoop onto the corn tortillas until covered. Add a handful of chicken and a handful of cheese until covered. Add a few sliced jalapenos for taste.
• -Repeat 3 more corn tortillas on top of the first layer; sauce, chicken and cheese.
• -You should finish the dish with 3 tortillas on top and enough sauce to drizzle over so they don't burn. I also like to finish with a sprinkling of cheese and a few jalapenos for garnish.
• -Put in oven for 30-35 minutes. Garnish with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. Cut into pie slices and serve.

CHICKEN VERDE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• I roast 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. Season the chicken with pepper, garlic powder and seasoned salt before roasting. I use my grill and place them on my rotiserie, keeping the temperature between 250-300 until juices run clear. Let the chicken cool, and use a fork or other utinsel to shred the chicken. Of coarse, any store bought already roasted chicken will do just fine.
• Brush tomatillos and garlic with 1 tbsp olive oil.
• Roast Tomatillos on the grill, until slightly charred. Once they pop and release water, remove.
• Cut the top of the garlic to expose cloves and drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil and roast on the grill or oven (on a baking sheet) for 10-20 minutes turning often. until slightly charred. Peel the garlic simply by squeezing the clove, the garlic should "slide" right out of the peel.
• In a large pot, saute onions in in olive oil over medium heat until semi soft (about 5 to 8 minutes) stirring often.
• Stir in the chiles, tomatillos, garlic, broth and the 2 corn tortillias that were sliced.
• Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat.
• stir in cilantro and salt.
• In small batches, place in food processor or blender and pulse until sauce is smooth, but still a bit chunky.
• stir in sour cream.
• Stir in shredded chicken.
• In a 13x9 baking dish, place just enough mixture to cover the bottom, add enough cheese to cover the sauce and then a layer tortillas on top of the mixture, repeat. Top your creation with the remaining mixture and the remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until cheese begins to slightly brown.

ENCHILADAS VERDES

Steps:

• Cover a large griddle with aluminum foil and preheat to medium-high.
• Cook the garlic, serrano peppers, and tomatillos on the hot griddle until toasted and blackened, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes for the garlic, 10 minutes for the peppers, and 15 minutes for the tomatillos. Remove to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Heat oil in a small, deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Using kitchen tongs, fry the tortillas individually, turning them once. They shouldn't be in the hot oil for more than 5 seconds per side. Remove excess oil with paper towels and keep warm. Remember that the hotter the oil, the less that the tortillas will absorb.
• Place the toasted garlic, serrano peppers, tomatillos, and the water in a blender and blend until smooth; pour into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Dissolve the chicken bouillon into the mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. The sauce shouldn't be too thick.
• Soak three tortillas in the sauce, one at a time, for a few seconds, fill them with shredded chicken, sprinkle the meat with some of the sauce, roll them and place them seam side down on a pasta bowl. Spoon a generous amount of sauce over them and top them with lettuce, cilantro, crema, and cotija cheese. Pour a little more sauce over the whole thing if desired. Repeat the procedure twice more. Serve immediately.
