Steps:
- Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Roughly chop 1 jalapeno pepper and 1 poblano pepper; add to the skillet with chicken and garlic.

Steps:
- Prep 30 minutes bake 45 minutes, Homemade Chicken Stock 1 ½ hours You can make this stew and freeze it. Thaw, layer and bake, as Corn Tortillas don't freeze well in the dish, they become grainy.
- Use at least ½ Leftover Rotisserie Chicken/ Raw whole pieces / or breasts boiled in water to cover, until done and broth has a good color, I use my pasta cooker with strainer, but any large heavy pot will do.
- Drain, reserve liquid, set chicken aside to cool.
- Reduce the remaining broth to about 2 cups or so while chopping this stuff: boned and skinned chicken, ½ as much yellow onion as you have chicken, same amount of Green Chile as Chicken, hot medium or mild "as you like".
- Throw it all in the broth with Oregano, Cumin, chopped garlic, stewed Mexican or stewed tomatoes. Simmer til onion is soft, if it's watery stir about ¼ cup cornstarch into some cold water or cooled broth, then add back into the stew to thicken.
- Taste and add salt til it is yummy.
- Once the stew is a satisfying thickness you can layer * using shredded sharp cheddar cheese, White/Yellow corn tortillas/and any stale taco shells you might have. Finish with Cheese and bake at 350 until bubbly and done. Let it rest for 20 minutes to firm up before serving.
- *If you just want some awesome green Chile Stew, add par boiled chopped to bite size potatoes at this point and when it looks like soup, put it in a bowl garnish with cheese and eat with a fresh hot flour Tortilla.
- This is my Husband's favorite dish. I sure hope you like it too!

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN CASSEROLE
I love the flavor of green enchiladas, but sometimes I don't love rolling all the tortillas, lol! Here is a casserole that gives that great, tangy flavor, but in much less time. Garnish with sour cream, if you like. Mexican rice and borracho beans are great sides for this Tex-Mex family meal.

Tips for Making Cheesy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole
- Use a variety of cheeses. A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack cheese will give your casserole a rich, flavorful filling.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is cooked too long will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
- Use a mild green chile sauce. If you don't like spicy food, use a mild green chile sauce. You can always add more heat later by adding diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcrowd the casserole dish. The enchiladas should be snugly fit in the dish, but they should not be overlapping. If you overcrowd the dish, the enchiladas will not cook evenly.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the enchiladas to set and make them easier to cut.
Conclusion
Cheesy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a great dish to make for a party or potluck. With its creamy, cheesy filling and flavorful green chile sauce, this casserole is sure to be a hit.
