- 1 4oz. can of diced chiles
- 1 4oz minced black olives
- 1 large jar of Velveeta cheese
- 4 cans tomato soup
- 3 lbs shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 3 dozen corn tortillas
- 1 21 ounce.+ bottle of corn oil
- 1 head lettuce (optional)
- lowfat sour cream (optional)
- Begin by boiling the chicken in large pot.
- Add in salt, pepper and some garlic salt to season the water.
- While the chicken boils, finely chop the onion.
- Over low heat, simmer tomato soup and when well heated, add in the Velveeta and diced chiles.
- Stir together well, keeping over low heat, so as not to scorch.
- When chicken is very tender, remove from the broth and allow to cold, Then shred the meat finely, discarding the bones.
- Remove tomato soup from heat.
- In a bowl, combine chicken, 3/4 of the minced onion, minced olives.
- In a small frying, heat oil.
- Always keep oil at least half full and very warm (not smoking) in the frying pan.
- At this point you need to have your assembly line ready.
- Begin to heat oven at 350F degrees.
- Have a good sized lasagna pan or possibly disposable aluminum pan near stove.
- Have the chicken bowl mix and shredded cheese near the pan.
- Keep some snips or possibly tongs handy to remove tortillas from the warm oil.
- If you can, ask someone to help assemble while you fry the tortillas.
- Begin frying the tortillas slightly, try not to crisp them too much.
- They should fry for about 10 to 15 seconds if oil is very warm.
- After frying the tortilla, immediately pull with the snips and dip in the tomato soup for about 10 seconds.
- If you have help, let them remove it from soup and start covering the pan with them as if you were doing the actual lasagna pasta.
- Slightly overlap them on the pan.
- When layer is complete, add in some chicken and make sure it covers the tortillas layer.
- After chicken, add in some shredded cheese and begin to add in another layer of tortillas.
- When 2nd layer is complete, pour some soup (about 2 c. full) on top of the layer and spread proportionately.
- Keep the procedure going till the top of the pan is reached.
- The top should have a layer of tortillas covered by a good amount of the tomato soup, then some cheese and some of the diced onions on top.
- Cover pan tightly with some aluminum foil and cook for about 45 min.
- After 45 min, remove the aluminum foil and return to the oven for another 15 min.
- Remove from oven and cut.
- Optional serving suggestion: shred lettuce; sprinkle lettuce and some lowfat sour cream on top of a serving of chicken lasagna and serve.
- Enjoy!
