Chicken Chilaquiles Egg Bake

Hey Readers! I'm happy to be contributing to Jack's Egg Bake Blog! I love making egg bakes and it's fun to share recipes and new ideas with all of you!  I wanted to make Chilaquiles, but in a more breakfast friendly way, so I decided to modify some recipes I found online.  

2 shredded chicken breasts

8oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese

6oz cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk 

5tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

16-ounces of green tomatillo salsa

1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained

1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped Jalapenos, drained

12 (6-inch) corn tortillas

Crushed corn chips
(Inspired by this recipe: http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/chicken-chilaquiles-10000001634740/)

1. Boil Chicken Breasts and shred with a fork.  Combine chicken, 8oz cup Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. 

​

2. Place milk, cilantro, 15 oz green tomatillo salsa and green chilis in a food processor, blend until smooth.

​

​

3. Heat tortillas according to package directions. (I just put them in the microwave for 45 seconds).

4. Grease 13x9 pan with butter and olive oil spray.

5. Pour Tomatillo mixture into bottom of baking dish. Arrange 6 corn tortillas in dish, and top with chicken mixture. 

​6. Top with remaining Tomatillo Mixture.​

7. Crush Corn chips and add a layer on top.

8. Take 6oz of shredded cheddar and add on top of the chips. (this was what I had at the time, if you make this, try Monterrey instead. )

9. Take can of jalapenos, and remaining 1oz of salsa and put into the food processor.  Blend until smooth.  Crack 16 eggs in a bowl and whisk together.  After whisked, mix in jalapeno mix. Pour Eggs on top of mixture.

​​10. Bake for 45 minutes at 350.  Always check the eggs with a knife or fork to make sure. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed the taste of this.  Top it with Pico or Guac.  In the future I would have done less chips and more sauce as it got a little dry near the end.
