Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
2 (4.5-oz) cans chopped green chiles, divided
1 3/4 lb skinned, boned chicken breasts
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 cup (4 oz) shredded monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup (2 oz) tub-style light cream cheese
1 (10-oz) can enchilada sauce
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
cooking spray
1/2 cup (2 oz) shredded reduced-fat extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 oz tortilla chips, crushed (about 6 chips)

Directions:

Combine broth and 1 can of chiles in a large skillet; bring to a boil. Add chicken; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until chicken is done, turning chicken once. Remove chicken from cooking liquid, reserving cooking liquid; cool chicken. Shred meat with two forks, and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 can of chiles and onion; sauté 3 minutes or until soft. Add reserved cooking liquid, milk, Monterey Jack, cream cheese, and enchilada sauce; stir well. Stir in shredded chicken; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Place 4 tortillas in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Spoon 2 cups chicken mixture over tortillas. Repeat layers twice, ending with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and chips. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
