Cindy Doss
  • 1 large stewing chicken
  • 1 large can of green enchilada sauce
  • 1 lb. Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 small can of sliced black olives
  • 2 green onions, diced
  • 1 package of corn tortillas
  • salt & pepper to taste


Cut the chicken in large pieces, and boil in salted water until done, approximately 1 hour. Cool and debone the chicken. In a 9 x 13” baking dish pour in 1/3 of the enchilada sauce, or enough to cover the bottom of dish. Place a layer of corn tortillas all across the bottom; you may need to cut them in odd shapes to get complete coverage. Place 1/2 of the chicken on top of the tortillas; season with salt & pepper. Sprinkle with 1/2 the diced onions, 1/2 the olives and 1/2 the cheese. Drizzle 1/3 of the enchilada sauce over this; and continue with another layer of tortillas, the rest of the chicken, seasoning, onions & olives. Pour remaining sauce over casserole and top with cheese. Bake uncovered in preheated oven 350°, for approximately 45 minutes.
