A warm and cheesy fusion of enchiladas and lasagna, delivering layers of flavor in a nostalgic comfort dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 912 lasagna noodles
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup diced yellow onion
  • 4 ounces canned green chiles
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken or rotisserie
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 8 ounces freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces freshly shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • Scallions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles in well-salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the green chiles.
  5. Mix in the shredded chicken and 1 1/4 cups of enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Coat a 9×9 baking dish with cooking spray. Place 3-4 lasagna noodles at the bottom of the dish.
  7. Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the noodles, then sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese.
  8. Layer 3-4 noodles over the cheese, followed by the remaining chicken mixture and another 1/3 of the cheese.
  9. Top with another 3-4 noodles, pour the rest of the enchilada sauce on top, and cover with the remaining cheese.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
