Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts water
1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husks removed
4 serrano chiles
2 garlic cloves
1/2 small yellow onion
12 medium-size day-old corn tortillas
Canola oil, for frying
2 medium size chicken breasts boneless and skinless
8 ounces asadero-style cheese grated (may substitute Monterey Jack)
4 ounces Mexican cream or creme fraiche
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium avocado, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • In a medium sauce pan boil the water, add the tomatillos and serrano chiles and let them cook for about 8 minutes. In a blender puree the tomatillos, chiles, garlic, and onions using enough of the tomatillo water to make a sauce consistency. Strain.
  • Cut the tortillas in half and then in quarters making 8 triangles from each one. In a medium-size skillet heat the oil, fry the tortillas until crisp and remove from heat.
  • In a medium-size skillet saute the chicken breast until done and then slice into 1-inch strips.
  • In a medium sauce pan bring the tomatillo salsa to a boil, taste for salt, and season if necessary, add the crispy tortillas and let simmer for about 4 minutes or until the tortillas get soft.
  • In a 8 by 8 inch baking dish, place some of the chilaquiles with sauce, add some of the chicken strips, cover with more tortillas then top with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven until the cheese melts, garnish with the cream, chopped onion, and avocado slices.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out perfectly! It was cheesy, flavorful, and the tortilla chips added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

This casserole was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used more cheese.

This is my go-to recipe for chilaquiles! I love that it's a one-pot meal and that I can use leftover chicken. The sauce is always flavorful and the casserole is always a hit with my family and friends.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. The casserole was cheesy, flavorful, and the tortilla chips added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this casserole last night and it was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and cheesy. I especially loved the crispy tortilla chips on top. I will definitely be making this again soon.
