Two of my favorite things are Mexican food and having dinner prepared long before dinner time.  That’s what drew me to this recipe.  I love to be able to prepare a meal ahead of time and just throw it in the oven when we’re about ready to eat.

Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin bite-size pieces
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 container sour cream
1 can chopped green chiles
2 cans enchilada sauce
12 tortillas quartered
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onions

Instructions:
Spray 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Heat 10 inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in skillet for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat. Stir in soup, sour cream and chiles.
In baking dish, spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce.

Arrange half of tortillas pieces over sauce, overlapping as necessary. Spoon and spread 1 cup enchilada sauce evenly over tortillas. Spread half of chicken mixture over sauce.

Top with 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers, starting with tortillas pieces. Cover tightly with foil. Refrigerate at least 8 hrs. or overnight.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover baking dish; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until sauce is bubbly and cheese begins to brown. Let stand (at least)15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with onions.

    That sounds fantastic. I'm going to attempt to cut the recipe down to a smaller amount since there are only two of us and give it a try soon.
