Light Bites - Green Chile Chicken Casserole

I am just getting my Light Bites recipe in just under the wire! I made this last Sunday with the intention of pre-blogging it but this week just disapeared. I tested this on my friend and her three kids and thankfully they loved it! I seem to always end up testing recipes on her family. When I first saw this recipe I wasn't sure if it would be good or not; it seemed too creamy and should be tomato-y. I actually really like the creaminess and the flavour. I rarely cook with green chillies and I wasn't sure how spicy it was going to be but next time I would add some taco seasoning for more flavour. I also didn't use shredded chicken because in my opinion that is way to much prep work for a casserole. I used ground turkey instead and added some fresh peppers. I also really liked how the tortillas turned out, they didn't get soggy like bread and the texture was similar to pasta.

So another winner for the Light Bites group!
