Incredibly simple to make, from just a handful of ingredients, this Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole is absolutely delicious! Top with a dollop of sour cream and some fresh cilantro (and some salsa if you’d like) and serve with a simple salad and dinner is served. Green Chile Chicken Enchilada CasseroleThe great thing about this dish is that you can make it earlier in the day, refrigerate it, then pop it in the oven about 30-40 minutes before you want to eat. The steps for making this casserole are easy: 

Start by gathering your ingredients.

Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken (this is a perfect recipe to take a rotisserie chicken shortcut), cream cheese, about half the enchilada sauce, and the green chiles. Not pictured, I also sprinkled in a couple teaspoons of taco seasoning. 

Layer, in a large casserole dish: sauce, tortillas, chicken mixture, grated cheese, and sauce. Repeat process.

Ingredients

  • 1 4.5 oz can Green Chiles (Ortega)
  • 2 tsp Taco Seasoning
  • 12 Yellow corn tortillas
  • Chopped fresh cilantro *optional
  • Sour Cream *optional

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, green chiles, and taco seasoning.
  • Coat bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce.
  • Layer 4 corn tortillas in baking dish. Cut in half as needed to fit.
  • Top tortillas with chicken mixture, sauce, and cheese.
  • Make another complete layer (tortillas, chicken, sauce, & cheese)
  • End layering with tortillas, sauce, and cheese.
  • Preheat oven, when you're ready to cook it. Cover with foil. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Then uncover and continue baking until it starts to bubble and brown on top. If you prefer, you can pop it under the broiler for the final few minutes. Keep an eye on it.

Pretty in pink! As soon as I unpacked my Valentine’s box, I knew I wanted to set a table using the small heart plates. I’ve had them for a year or two, and used them for appetizers and dessert, but never set them as a small salad plate. I searched through all my “pink” tableware and quickly realized that all pinks are not the same. I had variations of “pink” pink, “blush” pink, and “lavender” pink. It wasn’t working until I pulled it all together with the flowers. Your tip for the day is to mix and match, use what you have, and if it doesn’t work, go buy yourself some fresh flowers. #dishhoarderproblems

This White Chocolate Mocha was delicious! In fact, it was as good or better than I could have gotten at a coffee shop (and I didn’t have to leave the house). What’s your favorite coffee shop drink?

White Chocolate Sauce
•3-4 TBSP white chocolate chips
•1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
•½ cup low-fat (2%)milk
. . . . . . .
•Using a milk frother, add low-fat milk and condensed milk. Heat until hot and frothy.
•If you don’t have a frother, combine milk and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until hot, but not boiling. Stir regularly to prevent scorching.
•Add chocolate chips to hot milk, stir until melted and well combined.

White Chocolate Mocha
•Into a favorite mug, pour in a shot of espresso. Add a second shot if you prefer it stronger.
•Add (hot) White Chocolate Sauce to fill cup.
•Top with whipped cream (and sprinkles).

Sometimes a simple charcuterie board and a glass of bubbly (sparkly cider or champagne) is the perfect dinner! Fill your charcuterie board with your favorite meats, cheeses, veggies, nuts, breads or crackers, and few sweets and enjoy a quiet Valentines at home with those you love!
