Yummy Chicken Casserole

Gwen Meehan's Yummy Chicken Casserole
(No, I don't know who Gwen is, but that is the title of the recipe in my book)


Ingredients:








6 Boneless Chicken Breasts (about 3 pounds)
1/4 Red Onion, Diced
1 Cup Water
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Peper
2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
2 Teaspoons Poultry Seasoning or Adobo Seasoning
1 14.5oz Can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies, Drained
2 Cups Cheddar Cheese
3 Ounces Cream Cheese
1 Cup Sour Cream


Directions:

In a deep, covered skillet, simmer chicken breasts and onion in 1 cup of water with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and poultry seasoning.  Cook until chicken is no longer pink, let it cool for 10 minutes.













Cut into 1/2" cubes.

Place the chicken mixture on the bottom of a baking dish (I use a 9 X 13 dish) you've sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, cover with the tomatoes with chilies, a thin layer of cheddar cheese, followed by a layer of cream cheese, and finally a layer of sour cream.  Top with remaining cheddar cheese.



Bake at 350 degrees F for at least 15 minutes or until cheese has thoroughly melted and ingredients combine.
