A luscious casserole I had at a friend's house the other night and simplified by using a grocery rotisserie chicken. With a salad, this will easily serve 8 folks. Enjoy, as we did.

Steps:
- In a wide frying pan, heat oil over medium low heat until it shimmers. Reduce heat to low and add tomatoes, garlic, chilies, onions and cumin. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 400. Butter a 9 x 13 glass pan. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheddar, sour cream and salt. Stir in tomato mixture. Pour into the pan.
- Working quickly with the Phyllo, lay one sheet at a time over the chicken tomato mixture and brush thinly but thoroughly with melted butter. Continue until you're almost out of butter, then lay the last piece of phyllo and brush with butter. With a sharp knife, cut down thru layers of phyllo to make nine evenly spaced rectangular servings.
- Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until filling is hot and phyllo is golden brown. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use a good quality phyllo dough. This will make a big difference in the texture and flavor of your strudel. Look for phyllo dough that is thin and pliable.
- Work quickly with the phyllo dough. It can dry out quickly, so it's important to work with it as quickly as possible. If you need to take a break, cover the dough with a damp towel.
- Don't overfill the strudel. This will make it difficult to roll and seal. Aim for a filling that is about 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake the strudel until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the phyllo dough is cooked through and the filling is heated through.
- Let the strudel cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the strudel to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Sonora chicken strudel is a delicious and unique dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its golden brown crust, flavorful filling, and creamy sauce, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give Sonora chicken strudel a try.
