CHICKEN POBLANO CASSEROLE
I came up with this when I completely messed up on buying the ingredients needed to make Delicious Chicken Poblano #98285. Rather than review with a bunch of changes, I am posting it as new. It was very good, my family of 4 polished off the whole thing. Served with taco toppings and spanish rice it was great. My kids put theirs over Fritos.

POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I've begun making my enchiladas casserole style, which saves a lot time, not to mention burned fingers. :) However, everyone still raves over my enchiladas, and this recipe recently earned a round of applause when I made them on a skiing holiday. The sauce is actually a modified Alfredo recipe and is also great over fajitas.

Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Mix in the poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic. Squeeze the juice from one lime half over the chicken, and place the lime peel and pulp into the skillet. Cover, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and cut chicken into cubes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Gradually stir in the flour and half-and-half. Mix in the cilantro, mushrooms, sour cream, and juice of remaining lime half. Cook and stir 10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
- Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with 6 tortillas. Arrange 1/2 the chicken and pepper mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese, and cover with remaining tortillas. Layer with remaining chicken and pepper mixture, and pour the cilantro sauce evenly over the casserole. Top with remaining cheese.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh Poblano peppers, corn, and tomatoes will give your casserole a vibrant taste.
- Roast the Poblano peppers before adding them to the casserole. Roasting brings out their smoky, slightly sweet flavor.
- Shred the chicken finely for even cooking. You can use cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy meal.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a rich, gooey casserole. A combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack cheese works well.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The chicken should be cooked through, but not dry. Aim for an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Chicken Poblano Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor from the roasted Poblano peppers, corn, tomatoes, and chicken. The creamy cheese sauce and crispy tortilla strips add the perfect finishing touch. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
