Ingredients:
– Shredded cooked chicken (leftover or a few boneless/skin-less breasts boiled or baked)
– Corn tortillas (torn or cut into strips…about three strips per tortilla if small)
– Green enchilada sauce
– Cheese (cheddar, jack or shredded Mexican cheese mix, whatever you have on hand)
*optional: sliced black olives and/or one small can of cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup
Directions:
Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees. Layer a bit of the sauce on the bottom of an 8×8 pan (larger if making a large batch). Layer tortilla, chicken, sauce & cheese…repeat layers making sure to end with cheese on top (*if using the soup be sure to mix it with the green sauce before hand and if using olives add slices to top layer of the cheese).
Cover with foil and bake 20 – 30 minutes until heated through (removing foil for the last 5 minutes to let cheese bubble & brown). Yum!
**optional garnish toppings: avocado, cheese, sour cream, corn chips, green onions, cilantro

Dear Dinner,
Sometimes you are really hard to deal with. Getting through the middle of the week can be tiring and figuring out dinner can be a drag. I guess I know that I need to keep thinking about actually meal planning to avoid this. And I know dinner is just a chore. But, until then I love meals like casseroles or breakfast-for-dinner to get me through the week. Here is one of my favorites from Nana {my mother-in-law} that we have made for years. You can make it the night before or with leftover chicken. It only has a few ingredients and it comes together quickly! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. See ya next Wednesday!
Sincerely {and with a full belly},
*laura*
