Amount Ingredient
1 cup chicken broth (I use chicken bouillon dissolved in 1 cup water)
2 x (4.5-ounce) cans chopped green chiles, divided
1 x -3/4 pounds skinned, boned chicken breasts
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup (2 ounces) light cream cheese
1 x (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce
12 x (6-inch) corn tortillas
Cooking spray
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar

Instructions:
Instructions: Combine broth and 1 can of chiles in a large skillet; bring to a boil.

Add chicken; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until chicken is done, turning chicken once. Remove chicken from cooking liquid; cool chicken. Shred meat with two forks (I cut it up with kitchen shears), and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 can of chiles and onion; saute 3 minutes or until soft. Add reserved cooking liquid, milk, Monterey Jack, cream cheese, and enchilada sauce; stir well.

Stir in shredded chicken; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Place 4 tortillas in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon 2 cups chicken mixture over tortillas. Repeat layers twice, ending with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
