Time | 30 minutes approx | | Cook Time | 40 minutes | | Introduction | | This is my version of another similar recipe that I was served many years ago. It can be made with canned chicken or fresh and either way taste great.
| | Ingredients | | 4 Half chicken breasts (or 5 cups cubed cooked chicken)
2 cups chicken_broth
1 small can diced green_chili's, undrained
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced carrot
1 cup sliced celery
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp chili_powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 can cream of celery soup, undiluted
1 cup crispy chow mein noodles
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar , jack, whatever you like best
| | Directions | | Step: 1 | Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium sized pot and add chicken breasts.Turn down to a simmer and cook until chicken is tender (about 25 minutes).Check liquid level and add a bit of water or white wine if needed to keep chicken covered.
Cool chicken, remove skin and bones and shred.Reserve broth (strain if needed).
If using canned chicken omit this step.
| | Step: 2 | In a skillet melt the butter, add vegetables and saute until onion is translucent. Remove the vegetables from the heat and cool. In a large bowl combine cream of celery soup,seasonings,canned green chili's and 1/2 cup of the reserved chicken broth,stirring well to smooth out any lumps.
Add sauteed vegetables and chicken. Pour into a buttered casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Top with chow mein noodles and cheese and return to oven until cheese is melted. | | Step: 3 | Serve over hot cooked rice .
Serving suggestion # 1: Layer corn tortillas that have been toasted on a hot griddle in a round casserole with layers of the chicken mixture and shredded cheese, like you assemble a lasagna. Bake as directed.
Serving suggestion #2: Using large flour tortillas,make burritos with the chicken mixture , shredded cheese and my Easy Spanish Rice. |
