How to cook deliciously - Green Chile Chicken Casserole

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Chop cooked chicken thighs into small pieces and place in a medium mixing bowl. Stir 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese and chili powder into the chicken.

Combine tomatillos, chile peppers, green onions, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Process until pureed, about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and pulse to mix. Season with salt and pepper.
