Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt
Chicken Gravy, recipe follows
1 cup canned green chiles, chopped and drained
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cooking spray
Twenty-four 6-inch corn tortillas
3 cups shredded Cheddar
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Add the chicken to a large stockpot, cover with water and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and set aside. Reserve 3 1/3 cups of the broth (1 cup is for the chicken gravy, supplement with boxed stock if you don't have enough.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/3 cups of the reserved broth, the Chicken Gravy, green chiles, onions, garlic, sour cream, cumin, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
  • Spread 1 cup of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of 6 tortillas over the mixture, and then top with 1 cup shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar. Repeat this layer three more times, ending with cheese. Spread any remaining mixture over the cheese. Make sure all of the tortillas are covered or they will get very hard during baking. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the stock and milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, after about 5 minutes, whisk in some salt and pepper.

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups diced tomatoes (5 to 7 tomatoes, depending on size)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, diced
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons cumin
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
One 16-ounce jar salsa verde
12 to 18 flour tortillas (or corn tortillas), depending on size
One 11-ounce can corn, drained
1 1/2 pounds grated Cheddar jack cheese
1 recipe Enchilada Sauce, recipe follows, or 2 cups store-bought red enchilada sauce
Sour cream, for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell peppers
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beef, chicken or tomato bouillon cube
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Cook the rice according to the package directions. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil and add the tomatoes, garlic and onions. Stir and cook for a minute or 2. Add 2 teaspoons of the chili powder, 1 teaspoon of the paprika and 1 teaspoon of the cumin. Stir and cook the mixture for another minute or 2 in order to release the flavors. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the chicken along with the remaining 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin and some salt and pepper and cook until the chicken is deep golden brown and done in the middle, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and stir to make a sauce. Allow the sauce to boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in the pinto and kidney beans and set aside.
  • To assemble, pour half of the jar of salsa verde (about a cup) in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish or disposable foil baking pan. Layer half of the tortillas on top of the salsa verde, overlapping the edges. Spoon the rice over the tortillas, spread the tomato mixture over the rice then sprinkle the corn over the tomatoes. Next, add the chicken and bean mixture, then sprinkle on half the cheese and pour over half the Enchilada Sauce. Next, add the remaining tortillas in a layer, pour on the rest of the salsa verde and Enchilada Sauce and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
  • Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes before serving up to ensure it holds together. Serve with sour cream and cilantro for topping.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, bouillon cube and some salt and pepper and cook until the spices darken and their flavors are released, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, stir to combine and cook it for another minute. Add the stock and stir to combine, then allow the liquid to thicken. Add the tomato sauce and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce is nice and thick and reduced by about a third, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then use an immersion blender to completely puree the sauce until smooth. (Alternatively, you can transfer it to a blender to puree it; just make sure the sauce is cooled, as blending hot liquids is dangerous!)
  • The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen! Just reheat the sauce in a saucepan or skillet for whatever recipe calls for it.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your chicken tortilla soup the best flavor. If you can, use organic chicken, fresh vegetables, and homemade chicken broth.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and corn.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of the two.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream.
