Chicken Enchilada Casserole

I made this for the first time with flour tortillas. I didn't follow my own rule of thumb; always make a recipe exactly as it says the first time. I will be using corn tortillas the next time I make this.

3 lbs. Chicken
1 cans of Cream of Mushrooms Soup
2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup Chicken Broth
1 (4oz.) can diced Green Chilies
12 corn Tortillas, cut up
1 Onion, chopped
1 lb. Cheddar, shredded
butter

  • Cook chicken, de-bone and shred

  • Saute onion in butter

  • Add soups, broth and onion to shredded chicken and mix

  • Add chilies and cheese to chicken mixture

  • Line a greased 9x13 with 2/3 of the tortillas, spread half the chicken mixture then, layer the rest of the tortillas follow with remaining chicken mixture.

  • Bake 350 for 30min.

Chinese Chicken Wings

Here is another "Laneal Recipe". You have to try these, if you like wings at all. We absolutely love them around here. I have made them with regular drumsticks and even thighs but honestly they are best made as wings. And, the more I make them the more red pepper flakes I put in, we like the kick!

2 lbs. Chicken wings and drums
1/2 cup Brandy
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 Tbsp. Red Pepper Flakes
Garlic
Ginger

Bake at 375 for 1 1/2 hours turning the wings over half way through

I have a wonderful client who every time I see her, she brings me a new recipe to try. I have come to fall in love with every single one of her recipes. It all started with a Carnitas recipe and my love affair with her (and her recipes) have begun!

I am going to start posting most of her recipes, Thanks Laneal!
