Chicken Casserole from Kristen

So this may be what all the Nesties call Salsa Chicken, but I first tasted it at Kristen and Domenick's house, after painting with them for the afternoon. Hunger may be the best sauce, but I think this casserole is going to be a family favorite, even when we're not starved!

Kristen's Chicken Casserole

Ingredients:
  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • small onion, sliced
  • bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 jar salsa (approx. 12 oz.)
  • 8-10 small corn tortillas
  • corn (optional)
  • 1 bag pre-grated Mexican cheese blend
Brown chicken chunks, and add garlic, onion and bell pepper. Let veggies heat about 3 minutes, add Salsa and corn, cook just long enough to heat through. Remove from heat.
Line bottom of a 9x13 with tortillas, tearing if necessary, to fit. Layer 1/3 chicken mixture, 1/3 cheese, and another layer of tortillas. repeat with remaining ingredients, making sure cheese is on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, and then allow to cool for 15 minutes on the counter before serving.

I would say 6-8 depending on appetites, and if you serve with a salad etc.

The dish we had only fed 4 of us at Kristen's...but we were super hungry! and the girls had huge second helpings.
