Shelly's Tortilla-less Enchilada Casserole
2 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts, boiled and chopped (or leftover rotisserie)
1 teaspoon Southwest Seasoning (cumin, oregano, cayenne)
1/2 cup Corn kernels (I used leftover frozen, cooked)
1 Cup Mexican Blend Cheese, divided use
1 yellow Onion, chopped
2 green Onions, chopped
8 medium Mushrooms, sliced
1 - 4 oz. can whole Mild Green Chilis, seeded and chopped (I used the Ortega brand)
2 Tablespoons Flour
1 Tablespoon Butter
3/4 Cup Chicken Broth
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter, saute onions and mushrooms till golden. Divide into 1/2 and set 1/2 a side. To the 1/2 onions/mushroom mixture remaining in the pan add flour, and stir well. Add broth, cook till thickened. Stir in sour cream. Set aside.
Mix the shredded cooked chicken, the 1/2 onions & mushroom mixture, corn, mild green chilis, the seasoning and 1/2 cup of Mexican shredded cheese together. Pour chicken mixture into a casserole. Pour sauce over top and sprinkle with the other 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake for 35-40 minutes till golden and bubbly.
Edited to add: If you aren't allowed corn replace with black beans (canned, drained) or peas or just eliminate.
