Green Chili Chicken Casserole–Yum!

I hope you're all having  a great weekend, Happy Memorial Day! Let's all make sure we remember and thank those who've given their lives and time to fight for our country!

 It has been pretty busy weekend for us and the rest of the week isn't looking any better. Between my husband and I we have something every night this week except tonight. Our kids aren't even in school or other activities yet and we're that crazy busy with church meetings and such. Yikes.

So with that out there, this is one of my favorite recipes to make on a busy evening. It goes together super quick and bakes in about 20-30 minutes. It would also make a great freezer meal! Oh and I also need to clarify that this recipe comes from my mom, Carol. She doesn't have a blog, otherwise I'd link to it, (maybe I should post her email?), but she's been giving me some flack for not giving proper credit for her recipes in the past. So if I say "it's a family recipe" it's probably from her. Just FYI. :-D love you mom.

Start by cooking the chicken and chopping into small pieces when done. 

While the chicken is cooking, mix olives and green chilis together

Add soup, either homemade or cans. If using canned soup, dilute with one can of milk.

Add the chicken when it's cooked.

Once the green chilis, olives, chicken, and soup have been mixed together, season with salt and pepper to your tastes.

In a baking dish, layer the bottom with tortillas

Grate the cheese

Layer the soup mixture on top of the tortillas

then a layer of cheese. Repeat tortillas, soup mixture, cheese a couple time. Usually about 2-3. 

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until bubbling.

I usually serve with a side salad, now enjoy! 

Green Chili Chicken:

2-3 chicken breasts

1 lb longhorn (or Monterey Jack) cheese grated

Dilute soup with 1 can of milk (if you're using canned soup). Mix all ingredients together (except cheese and tortillas).

Layer tortillas, soup mixture, and cheese.
