-this lil' number that I decided to cook up tonight: Spinach and Chicken Tortilla Bake!
Here's the recipe if you are looking for something easy for your dinner tonight
Spinach and Chicken Tortilla Bake (adapted from Rachel Ray)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 chicken cutlets (about 1 pound)
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups store-bought salsa verde *I plan on substituting this for a slightly less spicy salsa
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
4 large (8″) flour tortillas
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
3 cups baby spinach (about 1/4 pound)
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese *Going to use a combo of cheddar and pepper jack
Preheat the oven to 450°. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add to the pan and cook, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then shred the meat.
Whisk together the salsa verde and ricotta; season with salt and pepper. In a greased 9-inch square baking dish, layer one-third of the salsa mixture, tortillas, chicken, onion, spinach and pepper jack; repeat twice. Bake until golden-brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with side of salsa and sour cream!
Yield: 4 servings
