Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Source- Joelen's Culinary Adventure's

Jolelen does not disappoint.  When I see something on her blog that I think LOOKS good, I know it's going to TASTE great!  

Ingredients
Chicken:
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Casserole Sauce:
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (16 ounce) jar chunky salsa
1 1/2 cup cream of chicken soup (I used homemade, but you can use store bought)
1/4 cup diced onion
3/4 cup canned black beans, drained
1 cup canned sweet corn, drained
2 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped
6 (12 inch) corn tortillas, cut into strips
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced for garnish

Preparation
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).  
  • Combine the spices in a small bowl and season the chicken breasts. 
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 20 minutes. 
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool until able to handle by hand. 
  • Once cooled enough to handle, shred chicken. 
  • Set aside until ready to layer the casserole. 
  • In a large bowl, mix sour cream, salsa, cream of chicken soup, onion, black beans, corn and tomatoes.  
  • Layer the bottom of a deep casserole dish or 9x13 inch baking dish with 1/3 tortilla strips. 
  • Top with 1/3 cooked chicken, 1/3 bean and corn mixture and 1/3 cheddar cheese. 
  • Repeat layering with remaining ingredients.  
  • Bake in the preheated oven 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. 
  • Let stand about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions
