How To Make creamy chicken green chile casserole

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 Cut up cream cheese to 1 inch cubes, (better if room temp) add to mixing bowl, add green chili sauce, green chilies, cumin and salt to taste. Mix until the cream cheese has blended in nicely.
  • Step 2
    Add chopped chicken and mix.
  • Step 3
    Spay 13 x 9 baking dish with Pam (or other non stick spray) Cut up tortillas into strips then cut in half again. Line baking dish with some of the tortillas evenly.
  • Step 4
    Then add the rest of the tortillas to the creamy chicken mixture, mix until all the tortillas are coated.
  • Step 5
    Pour into the the baking dish.
  • Step 6
    Spread evenly and top with the cheese.
  • Step 7
    Bake in your 350 degree oven for approx 30 - 40 mins, until bubbly hot! Cool for 10 mins then cut and serve! I think this might taste a little better if you top it with a little sour cream.
