This is a fun meal for the family to make together. Caeleigh, a sponsored child, says, “I love to help my mom in the kitchen. We make enchiladas for our family together.”

 INGREDIENTS:

 • 3-5 chicken breasts, boneless

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 2 Tbsp. margarine

• 1 10 oz. can cream of chicken soup

• 1 10 oz. can cream of mushroom soup

• 1 ¾ cups frozen chopped green chili, drained

• ½ cup broth saved from chicken

• 1 12 ct. pkg. corn tortillas

• 1 lb. cheese, grated (cheddar, jack or mixture)

 DIRECTIONS:

1. Boil chicken, cool and shred breasts with a fork or your fingers.  Be sure to save the broth the chicken boiled in.

2. Preheat oven to 325º F.

3. Sauté onion in margarine until slightly soft.  Combine onion with soups, chili, broth and stir.

4. Tear 6 tortillas into small pieces and cover the bottom of a 9” x 13” pan. Spread ½ the chicken over the tortilla pieces, then ½ the sauce, and ½ the cheese. Repeat for several layers until you use up all your ingredients.

5. Bake 30-40 minutes, until very hot, bubbly and slightly browned.

6. Serve and enjoy!  Makes eight to ten 8 oz. servings.

In next week's Culture Snapshot we head to Bangladesh to learn how to play the game Carom!

Fantastic recipe!! I used 2 chicken breasts instead of a BBQ chicken - healthier and less expensive. I substituted in light sour cream and low fat cheese to also make this healthier. Great dish to premake and pop in the oven when people come for dinner.
