This chicken enchilada casserole recipe is so good that my four picky kids eat it — and I got my picture in the paper for it! If you want to skip the charring step, simply tear the tortillas into quarters so they absorb the sauce better.

Ingredients

  • skinless, boneless chicken breast halves: 4 piece
  • garlic salt: (to taste)
  • corn tortillas, torn in half: 18 piece (6 inch)
  • green Chili enchilada sauce: 1 can (28 ounce can)
  • Monterey Jack cheese: 1 pack (16 ounce pack, shredded)
  • reduced fat sour cream: 1 container (8 ounce container)

  2. Season chicken with garlic salt; arrange in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
