Chili Chicken

Ingredients:

2 cups Cooked Chicken
2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
1 soup can Milk
1 cup Sour Cream
1 Small can diced green chilis (I use fresh roasted green chilis)
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
2 cups Grated Colby/Jack Cheese

Directions:

Stir together soup, water, sour cream, green chilies and onions. Pour over cooked chicken. Top with grated cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve over rice and enjoy! Provided by: Sine Kerr of Kerr Dairy

I made this great casserole meal today. This was a simple and quick recipe. It is a great budget stretcher and would be great for pot lucks and other gatherings or those nights when you need to throw something together.

The recipe called for 2 cups of already cooked chicken so I used chicken that I had made the night before.

I put the whole thing back in the deep covered baker and baked it. Using the deep covered baker would you to pop this in the microwave for about 20 minutes. I also used reduced fat cream of chicken soup and reduced fat sour cream to cut down on some of the calories and served it over cooked rice.
