Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Put the chicken thighs in a large pot, add water to cover and stir in the salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Drain the chicken. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and shredding the meat.
  2. Preheat oven - 400°F; . Lightly grease a 9x13 roasting pan. WS had a pan for sale that was deeper then the dishes I had and that they recommended, but I couldn’t see buying another pan.
  3. In a saute' pan over a medium heat, warm the oil. Using tongs , quickly pass each tortilla through the hot oil until softened, 2-3 seconds. Drain on a paper towel-lines baking sheet.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup of the chili verde into the prepared roasting pan and spread evenly. Place 3 tortillas on top. Top with 1 cup of chicken, 1 cup of jack cheese and 1/2 cup of chili verde starter. Repeat the layering 4 times, ending with a layer of tortillas. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of chili verde starter and the remaining jack cheese.
  5. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkles the red onion, cilantro and queso anejo cheese on top. Serve warm.
  7. CHANGES I MADE:.
  8. I used a regular 9x13 baking dish that I had. It was not nearly as deep as the one at WS, so I could only get 2 layers of the process. It turned out just fine.
  9. I used the roasted chickens that we can get at the store. For my size dish I used 2 chickens.
  10. I also think you could use any chili verde sauce and it would be fine. i TEND NOT TO USE TOO MUCH SALT WHEN COOKING, SO i DID NOT ADD THE SALT CALLED FOR ABOVE. i ALSO DON'T PARTICULARLY CARE FOR CILANTRO, SO I LEFT THAT OUT ALSO.
  11. The tortillas I got where not hard but fresh, so I skipped the warm oil.
  12. It took me all of about 15 minutes to put this together.
  13. The next time I fix I will add a little salt but not as much as they call for and maybe some jalapenos.
