Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This easy chicken enchilada casserole is perfect to feed a family, have lots of leftovers, or to take to a potluck.

Ingredients

• 5 cups salsa (I make my own - link to my recipe below!)
• 8 corn tortillas cut in half
• 15 oz refried beans
• 3 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 16 oz sour cream
• 3 c mexican style shredded cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C) - lightly grease 9x13 baking dish

Salt and pepper chicken breasts, cook for ten minutes in pan over medium heat, flip and cook ten minutes more, chop into small pieces and put into large mixing bowl

Thoroughly mix one cup of salsa into the chicken

Put enough salsa in bottom of baking dish to spread a thin layer

Place 8 tortilla halves evenly, overlap slightly if necessary, spread half the refried beans, spread half the remaining salsa, then half the sour cream, then half the shredded cheese

Repeat step 5 one more time using all the remaining ingredients

Bake for 30 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted and has started to brown

Let stand for 10 minutes before serving
