Chicken Green Chile Enchilada Casserole (Vegetarian) image

This was in the "Inspired Vegetarian" section of Cooking Light Magazine. Satisfies both the vegetarian and meat-eater. For non-veggie households, could very easily substitute chicken breast for the meatless chicken.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I'm not a fan of green chiles, but I still enjoyed this casserole. The cheese and sour cream helped to balance out the spice.

I've made this casserole with both chicken and tofu. I prefer the tofu version, but both are delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.
