INGREDIENTS:1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cooked
8 ounces sour cream
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3 cups salsa
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
12 (8 inch) flour tortillas
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl combine the soup, chicken, sour cream and green onions. Mix together. In another small bowl combine the salsa and green chile peppers and mix.
In a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish layer as follows: 4 flour tortillas (cover the bottom of the dish), 1/2 of the chicken mixture, 1/2 of the salsa mixture, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese. Repeat layers. Add another layer of 4 tortillas and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted on top. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
Since I usually can't leave any recipes alone, the changes I made: I baked my chicken breast and when I did, I spiced them with chili powder, onion flake, garlic and pepper. (I did use 6 chicken breast and doubled the soup and sour cream). I omitted the green chilies (we don't care for them) and to the soup/chicken mixture I added 1 can each of corn and black beans. Since I used more chicken and soup, I used a bigger pan. I also scored the tortillas before I placed them in the pan to make it easier to cut when I took it out of the oven. I also used healthy request soup and light sour cream to make it a little bit healthier. I also did not have any aluminum foil, so I did not cover it at all during the baking. The top turned out extra crispy, so next time I make it I probably will uncover about half way thru cooking.
Review:
This is a very good dish, but I don't necessarily know if I would serve it to company. It looks nice in the pan, but it kinda tends to ooze everywhere once it is dished up. I think we will definately be making this one again. It is really easy to throw together!

Sounds yummy! I have a recipe very similar to this, only it doesnt call to do it in layers, just one layer of tortillas in the bottom and the rest of the ingredients mixed and poured over top of it. We usually eat it on warmed tortillas wrapped up. It is great with chips like a dip too!
Sounds great and your changes sound like really good choices too. I love the idea of scoring the tortillas first. Genius!! Thanks for sharing.
