Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

If you're looking for a green chile chicken enchilada casserole with a kick, this might be the one for you. I found the base recipe scouring the web for something that would taste like my ex-mom-in-law's casserole, which was to-die-for, and I've tweaked it a few times to make it my own. Try throwing in some jalapenos for even more kick.

1 tablespoon oil, or to taste
½ cup chopped hot green chile peppers
½ cup chopped white onion
½ cup chopped bell pepper
