VEGETARIAN GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
This is a very easy recipe to make and a proven crowd-pleaser. Even meat-eaters love it! Stacking the tortillas saves time and is less messy. Don't let the prep time scare you, that includes the time to roast the peppers. *To roast your poblano peppers, place them on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 - 30 minutes, turning over half-way through, until the skin is blistered and black all over. Place the peppers in a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. Once cooled, remove the skin, stems and seeds. Chop up the roasted peppers and they're ready to use.
