Chicken Chalakiles Recipes

CHICKEN CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat, stirring to break it into tiny pieces. Place the raw chicken into the skillet with the chorizo; cook and stir the meats together until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
• Spread half of the tortilla chips over the bottom of a casserole dish; top the chips with the cooked chorizo and chicken mixture. Sprinkle the corn evenly over the meats and layer the remaining chips over the top. Whisk together the green enchilada sauce and sour cream in a mixing bowl; pour over the top of the casserole. Top the casserole with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake the chilaquiles in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbly and the chips begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

CHICKEN CHILAQUILES VERDES

Steps:

• Combine chicken breast, half of the salsa verde, chicken broth, onion, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook until chicken is cooked through, on Low for 6 hours or High for 3 hours.
• Remove chicken from sauce and shred in a bowl with 2 forks. Return to the sauce in the slow cooker and mix to combine.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmery. Cut tortillas into triangles; add tortilla triangles to the hot oil and cook, flipping every minute, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add shredded chicken, slow cooker sauce, and remaining salsa verde to tortillas. Mix and heat until everything is warmed through.
• Meanwhile, stir together sour cream and as much milk so sour cream can be drizzled.
• Remove tortilla mixture from the heat. Garnish with cotija cheese, cilantro, and drizzle with thinned sour cream mix.

CHILAQUILES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• To make the fried tortilla strips, slice corn tortillas into thin strips.
• Fry in a large skillet of hot oil until light golden brown and crisp, watching carefully so they do not burn.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• To assemble the casserole, spread the corn strips on the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish.
• Place the chicken on top and cover with the sauce, then top with cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes or until heated through.
• Spread the sour cream over the top of the casserole and serve.

• Add chicken and cook, stirring, until hot, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in chopped cilantro.
• Divide chips among four shallow bowls; top with chicken mixture and sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, sour cream, and feta. Serve.
