For Serving<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mexican crema<\/p>\n

Lime wedges<\/p>\n

Pickled jalape\u00f1os<\/p>\n

Refried pinto beans, optional<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Cook the Chicken<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Place the chicken in a large saucepan.<\/p>\n

Add the chicken broth, onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, cumin, and Mexican oregano.<\/p>\n

Bring the broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n

Reduce the heat to low, partially cover the saucepan, and simmer for 20\u201325 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked.<\/p>\n

The internal temperature should reach 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remove the chicken from the broth and allow it to cool slightly.<\/p>\n

Reserve the broth for preparing the green chile sauce and Mexican rice.<\/p>\n

2. Shred the Chicken<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Use two forks or clean hands to pull the cooked chicken into thin, rustic pieces.<\/p>\n

Discard the bay leaf, cooked onion, and garlic from the broth.<\/p>\n

Measure approximately 4 cups of shredded chicken for the casserole.<\/p>\n

Set the chicken aside while preparing the green chile sauce.<\/p>\n

3. Roast the Green Chiles and Tomatillos<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Place the tomatillos, poblano peppers, Anaheim chiles, jalape\u00f1os, optional serrano pepper, onion, and unpeeled garlic cloves on a large baking sheet.<\/p>\n

Position the baking sheet approximately 6 inches beneath the broiler.<\/p>\n

Broil for 6\u20138 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and develop blistered spots.<\/p>\n

Carefully turn everything and broil for another 5\u20137 minutes.<\/p>\n

The tomatillos should be soft and slightly collapsed. The chile skins should be blistered and darkened in several places.<\/p>\n

4. Steam and Peel the Roasted Chiles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl.<\/p>\n

Cover the bowl tightly and allow the peppers to steam for 10\u201315 minutes.<\/p>\n

Peel away the loose, blistered skins.<\/p>\n

Remove the stems and seeds.<\/p>\n

For a spicier sauce, leave some of the jalape\u00f1o or serrano seeds intact.<\/p>\n

Avoid rinsing the roasted peppers under water because this can remove some of their smoky flavor.<\/p>\n

Peel the roasted garlic cloves.<\/p>\n

5. Blend the Green Chile Sauce<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Place the roasted tomatillos, peeled chiles, onion, garlic, cilantro, chicken broth, cumin, Mexican oregano, salt, and lime juice in a blender.<\/p>\n

Blend until smooth but still slightly textured.<\/p>\n

Taste the sauce and adjust the salt or lime juice if necessary.<\/p>\n

6. Cook the Green Chile Sauce<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.<\/p>\n

Carefully pour in the blended green chile sauce.<\/p>\n

Bring it to a gentle simmer.<\/p>\n

Cook for 10\u201312 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce darkens slightly and begins to thicken.<\/p>\n

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small splash of chicken broth.<\/p>\n

Remove it from the heat and set it aside.<\/p>\n

7. Prepare the Chicken Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n

Add 1 cup of green chile sauce, Mexican crema, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.<\/p>\n

Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.<\/p>\n

Taste and season with salt and black pepper if needed.<\/p>\n

The filling should be moist and creamy but not watery.<\/p>\n

8. Soften the Tortillas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.<\/p>\n

Lightly fry each corn tortilla for approximately 5\u201310 seconds per side.<\/p>\n

The tortillas should become soft and flexible without turning crispy.<\/p>\n

Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.<\/p>\n

Briefly frying the tortillas creates a protective layer that prevents them from becoming excessively soggy inside the casserole.<\/p>\n

9. Prepare the Baking Dish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.<\/p>\n

Spread approximately \u00be cup of green chile sauce evenly across the bottom.<\/p>\n

This prevents the tortillas from sticking and keeps the bottom layer moist.<\/p>\n

10. Assemble the First Layer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arrange six softened corn tortillas over the sauce.<\/p>\n

Overlap the tortillas slightly and cut some in half if necessary to cover the bottom of the dish.<\/p>\n

Spread half of the creamy chicken filling over the tortillas.<\/p>\n

Spoon approximately \u00be cup of green chile sauce over the chicken.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle approximately 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the sauce.<\/p>\n

11. Assemble the Second Layer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Place another six tortillas over the cheese.<\/p>\n

Add the remaining chicken filling.<\/p>\n

Spoon another \u00be cup of green chile sauce over the chicken.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle with another cup of shredded cheese.<\/p>\n

12. Add the Final Layer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arrange the remaining six tortillas over the filling.<\/p>\n

Pour the remaining green chile sauce evenly over the entire casserole.<\/p>\n

Use the back of a spoon to spread the sauce to the edges.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese generously over the top.<\/p>\n

13. Bake the Casserole<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil.<\/p>\n

Bake at 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong> for 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10\u201315 minutes.<\/p>\n

The sauce should be bubbling around the edges, and the cheese should be completely melted.<\/p>\n

For lightly golden cheese, broil the uncovered casserole for 1\u20132 minutes at the end.<\/p>\n

Watch it carefully to prevent the cheese from burning.<\/p>\n

14. Allow the Casserole to Rest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Remove the casserole from the oven.<\/p>\n

Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.<\/p>\n

Resting allows the tortillas to absorb some of the sauce and helps the individual servings hold their shape.<\/p>\n

15. Prepare the Mexican Rice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear.<\/p>\n

Drain thoroughly.<\/p>\n

Blend the Roma tomatoes, onion, garlic, and \u00bd cup of chicken broth until smooth.<\/p>\n

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.<\/p>\n

Add the drained rice and cook for 5\u20137 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden.<\/p>\n

Carefully pour in the blended tomato mixture.<\/p>\n

Cook for 2 minutes, stirring gently.<\/p>\n

Add the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth, cumin, and salt.<\/p>\n

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.<\/p>\n

Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 18\u201320 minutes without lifting the lid.<\/p>\n

Remove it from the heat and allow the rice to rest, covered, for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Fluff gently with a fork.<\/p>\n

16. Assemble the Plate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cut the green chile chicken enchilada casserole into eight generous portions.<\/p>\n

Place one serving on each plate.<\/p>\n

Spoon a little extra warm green chile sauce over the top if desired.<\/p>\n

Add a serving of Mexican tomato rice alongside the casserole.<\/p>\n

Garnish with Mexican crema, chopped cilantro, diced onion, sliced avocado, or pickled jalape\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Serve immediately with lime wedges and optional refried beans.<\/p>\n

Homemade Mexican Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chicken thighs remain especially tender and flavorful, but chicken breasts also work well.<\/p>\n

Cook the chicken at a gentle simmer. Aggressive boiling can make it dry and tough.<\/p>\n

Roasting the tomatillos and green chiles gives the sauce a deeper, smokier flavor.<\/p>\n

Poblano peppers provide rich flavor with mild heat. Jalape\u00f1os and serranos increase the spice level.<\/p>\n

Remove the chile seeds and membranes for a milder casserole.<\/p>\n

Do not rinse the roasted chiles after peeling because water removes some of their flavor.<\/p>\n

Lightly frying the tortillas helps them retain their structure inside the casserole.<\/p>\n

Do not overfill each layer. Even layers make the casserole easier to slice and serve.<\/p>\n

Keep the chicken mixture creamy but not watery. Excess liquid can make the casserole difficult to portion.<\/p>\n

Oaxaca cheese provides an authentic, stretchy melt. Monterey Jack is an excellent substitute.<\/p>\n

Allow the casserole to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting it.<\/p>\n

Optional Variations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Extra-Creamy Casserole<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Increase the Mexican crema to 1 cup and mix it thoroughly with the chicken and green chile sauce.<\/p>\n

Spicier Green Chile Casserole<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Add another serrano pepper to the green chile sauce or include diced roasted jalape\u00f1os in the chicken filling.<\/p>\n

Mild Family Version<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Omit the serrano pepper and remove all the seeds and membranes from the jalape\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

With Corn<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Add 1 cup of drained corn kernels to the chicken filling.<\/p>\n

With Black Beans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Add 1\u00bd cups of drained black beans between the chicken layers.<\/p>\n

Vegetarian Version<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Omit the chicken and replace it with black beans, corn, roasted zucchini, mushrooms, and additional cheese.<\/p>\n
