LAYERED MEXICAN CHICKEN LASAGNA
2 lbs. uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast
30 oz. canned black beans, rinsed and drained
3 c. fat free sour cream (I reduced to 1 ½ c.)
2 c. shredded reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese, divided
8 oz. chopped green chilies, two 4-oz. cans
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp black pepper
12 medium corn tortillas cut into 2-inch strips
1 c. salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350*. Coat lasagna pan with cooking spray
2. Place chicken in medium saucepan and fill with enough cold water just to cover chicken. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes; drain. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch pieces.
3. Transfer chicken to a large bowl and add beans, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, chilies, cumin, and pepper, mix well and set aside.
4. Arrange half of tortillas in bottom of pan, overlapping pieces to cover surface. Top tortillas with half chicken mixture, layer with remaining tortillas and the top with remaining chicken mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese.
5. Bake intil filling and bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 12 pieces. Serve with salsa on the side.
12 servings
6 points per serving (with recipe as is, and not the reduced sour cream)
About me
Hello, My name is Gina and I am a mom of 3 great children who keep me super busy along with working for Weight Watchers and doing hair from my home. So I guess that I am a part time stay at home mom, but still a full time mom. I love to cook when I have time and all the ingredients needed on hand. That is why dinner can sometimes be a hard time for me. I get home from soccer, football, dance, and on and on, and not knowing what to fix for dinner. The kids are hungry and it is 6:00. That is why I am doing this. I am hoping that it will get me more organized and I hope it will help you ease the pain of thinking what to fix for dinner when it is late and you have been on the run all day.
