Ingredients:

Serving

4 -6 pieces chicken
1 yellow onion
2 cups green chili peppers
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp garlic
1 (16 oz) can tomatoes
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 -2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
9 -12 corn tortillas
1 roma tomato
1 cup lettuce
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup sour cream
4 flour tortillas

Directions:

Prep 30 minutes bake 45 minutes, Homemade Chicken Stock 1 1/2 hours You can make this stew and freeze it. Thaw, layer and bake, as Corn Tortillas don't freeze well in the dish, they become grainy.
Use at least 1/2 Leftover Rotisserie Chicken/ Raw whole pieces / or breasts boiled in water to cover, until done and broth has a good color, I use my pasta cooker with strainer, but any large heavy pot will do.
Drain, reserve liquid, set chicken aside to cool.
Reduce the remaining broth to about 2 cups or so while chopping this stuff: boned and skinned chicken, 1/2 as much yellow onion as you have chicken, same amount of Green Chile as Chicken, hot medium or mild as you like .
Throw it all in the broth with Oregano, Cumin, chopped garlic, stewed Mexican or stewed tomatoes. Simmer til onion is soft, if it’s watery stir about 1/4 cup cornstarch into some cold water or cooled broth, then add back into the stew to thicken.
Taste and add salt til it is yummy.
Once the stew is a satisfying thickness you can layer * using shredded sharp cheddar cheese, White/Yellow corn tortillas/and any stale taco shells you might have. Finish with Cheese and bake at 350 until bubbly and done. Let it rest for 20 minutes to firm up before serving.
*If you just want some awesome green Chile Stew, add par boiled chopped to bite size potatoes at this point and when it looks like soup, put it in a bowl garnish with cheese and eat with a fresh hot flour Tortilla.
This is my Husband's favorite dish. I sure hope you like it too!
