Ingredients
- 1 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, large
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 1 tablespoon Heavy Cream
- 1 Jalapeño, small and minced
- 1/2 cup Onion, diced
- 1 10 ounce can Ro-Tel
- 2 tortillas Corn Tortillas, or Flour tortillas, your choice (8-inch)
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Directions
- In a medium sauce pan, poach the chicken breast in water until it registers 165°F. Remove the chicken from the water and let cool on a cutting board.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and have ready two 10-oz ramekins.
- Next, wipe out the saucepan and return it to medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Stir in the flour with a whisk, and whisk constantly while cooking for about 1 minute. Next, slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Let the mixture come to a boil to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, combine the Ro*Tel tomatoes, the minced jalapeño and onion. Next, stream in the chicken stock mixture and stir to combine.
- Shred the chicken when it’s cool enough to handle.
- Next, tear up the tortillas into small strips. Place one-fourth of the tortillas in the bottom of each of the two 10-oz ramekins. Place one-fourth of the shredded chicken on top. Ladle one-fourth of the chicken broth and tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle a bit of the garlic salt on top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make two layers total. Finally, top with the cheese.
- Bake on a sheet pan for 30 minutes, or until bubbling. Serve warm.
