Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 10.75 ounce condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 can
- 10.75 ounce condensed cream of chicken soup 1 can
- 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes 1 can
- ⅔ cup chicken broth low sodium
- 4 ounce green chilies 1 can
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups chicken cooked, shredded
- 3 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 10 medium tortillas corn or flour, 4 of them cut into halves
- 1 tablespoon chives chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the oven: Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Cook onion and pepper: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, then cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Make the sauce: Add the onion and pepper mixture to a large mixing bowl along with both the condensed soups, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, green chilies, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.
- Start to assemble casserole: Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Top with half of the chicken, then pour 2 cups of the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese, and spread half of the tortillas.
- Finish assembling casserole: Top with the remaining chicken, 2 more cups of sauce, 1 cup of cheese, and the remaining tortillas. Finish layering the casserole with the remaining sauce and then cheese.
- Bake and garnish: Transfer the baking dish to the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese has browned slightly. Garnish with green onion and serve.
