TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook on each side until browned and cooked through, then remove and let it cool before cubing into bite-sized pieces.
3
In the same pan, lower the heat, and add flour, stirring for one minute. Add chicken broth slowly, while stirring to avoid lumps. Add diced tomatoes with green chiles and milk to this roux, stirring continuously until it thickens.
4
In an ungreased rectangular baking dish, place half of the cut tortilla strips, followed by half of the cooked chicken cubes, and then half of the homemade sauce.
5
Repeat the layers, starting with the remaining half of the tortilla strips, then chicken cubes, and ending with the sauce.
6
Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese and place it in the oven.
7
Bake the casserole uncovered for around 45 minutes until it's bubbling and the cheese is melted. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
