GREEN CHILE FIESTA CHICKEN BAKE

Green Chile Fiesta Chicken Bake

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
• 1 can corn, drained
• 1 can chopped green chiles (I prefer Old El Paso)
• 8 oz Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz monterey jack cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 4 green onions, chopped

Optional

• Cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375˚F.
2. Mix the cream cheese, corn, green chiles, sour cream, and 1 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese together until combined.
3. Lay the chicken breasts in a large casserole dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the chicken and sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over the top.
4. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temp)
5. Garnish with cilantro and serve with your favorite side!

Notes

• You can cut the chicken in half, chunks, or use chicken tenderloins in lieu of full chicken breasts to make serving easier. Cooking time may be reduced.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container.  The chicken reheats well, or can be chopped and used to make other dishes like enchiladas, tacos, etc.
