I needed a quick and easy meal to prepare tonight. My husband had some things to do and then a lodge meeting this evening so I had to make sure supper was finished before he left. So tonight one of our favorite meals....Mexican Lasagna :)
This meal requires the "Deep Covered Baker" from Pampered Chef. If you don't have it you are seriously missing out!
1st place your chicken breast in the baker and pop in the microwave for 12 minutes. (mine were still pretty froze)
While my chicken was cooking I got all my ingredients together. For this meal you need the following... A pack of chicken breast, crunchy corn tortias, 1 can of enchilada sauce, 1 pack of shredded cheese, 1 onion, 1 package of cream cheese, and refried beans (optional, I didn't use beans)
You can dip or bast your enchilada sauce. I choose to dip so I pour my sauce into the white pan for dipping. Go ahead and cut your onion and place your cream cheese in something to warm in microwave (I used my measuring cup)
Once your chicken is cooked you should drain the juice (I save mine for stock) and then you need to shred it (I use these Pampered Chef salad choppers)
After you chicken is chopped take it out of the baker and place it in a bowl. Then you begin to form your lasagna :)
Dip your tortias on both sides
then begin to layer them in your baker
Then spread your cream cheese (which you warmed in the microwave for a few seconds) onto the tortias.
If you desire the refried beans you would put them on top of the cream cheese. Since I did not use the beans I sprinkled my chicken over the layers. (don't use all of your ingredients on this layer...it will be two layers total)
Then sprinkle on cheese and onions.
Repeat all these steps for a second layer. When you are done with the second layer place one extra layer of the tortias on top and pour any remaining enchilada sauce on top and then sprinkle a bit more cheese on top.
Pop it in the microwave for 11-12 minutes and waaalaaaa!
Time to eat!!!!
This is a really simple mean. It took me 32 minutes from the time I put my chicken in the microwave until the time I put the finished product in the microwave to cook. I don't count the time it spends in the microwave because I can just walk away. You don't have to worry about it burning since the microwave cuts off!!! You can also prepare this meal the night before and stuff it in the fridge to cook the next day. I know I plugged the Pampered Chef products quite often, but they are my #1 tools in the kitchen and they are life savers! How else can you make a meal from frozen chicken in 32 minutes? Try it for yourself sometime :)
