Nancy's (wicked spicy, easy peasy) Chicken Verde Bake

This dish is great to make using meat from a whole cooked chicken (think rotisserie chicken you can pick up at the grocery store ready to go!) Or, I typically make this from a 4-5lb. beer can chicken I have slow cooked on the grill. Cooked chicken breasts can work too! 🐥

Ingredient

4-5 cups

cooked chicken, shredded

small yellow onion, diced

bell pepper, diced

3 TSP

minced garlic

1 cup

sour cream

3 TBSP

tomato paste

1 cup

chicken broth

heaping TBSP oregano

heaping TBSP cilantro

minced jalapeno

1 dash

hot sauce

1/3 cup

uncooked white rice

1 TBSP

cumin

4 TBSP

chili powder

1 TBSP

ancho chili powder

1 TSP

paprika

1/2 TSP

cayenne pepper

2 cups

shredded Colby jack cheese

2 cups

crushed tortilla chips, salted

10-12 slices

pickled jalapenos

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Shred your cooked chicken into a medium mixing bowl. Saute the bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, and garlic until softened in 2 TBSP of canola oil. Add this to the chicken along with the remaining chicken mixture ingredients (making sure to salt and pepper everything as you go to taste). NOTE: Mixture should be fairly thick but with enough liquid to cook the rice, so just a little runny is ok!

* Step 2

Oil a 7 x 11 baking dish with canola oil. Add the chicken mixture. Then, layer the cheese (it should fully cover the chicken mix so add more cheese if needed), crushed tortilla chips, oil drizzle, and pickled jalapenos.

* Step 3

Bake at 375 uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until entire dish is very bubbly and golden brown along the edges.

* Step 4

Remove from oven and let stand 10-15 minutes before serving. Top servings with sliced black olives, fresh diced tomato, sour cream or whatever you like and Enjoy!! If it turns out bad, please feel free to blame me 😊

* Step 5

PS-After writing this recipe out (that I normally keep stored in my head along with all my other recipes) I now know why I don't typically follow recipes! There is too much reading!! 😂
