Amount  Measure Ingredient      Preparation Method
1       pound   boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1       quart   water
2       cloves  garlic  bruised
2               green onions
1       jar     salsa   green
1       pint    light sour cream
1/2     cup     half and half
1/2     pound   sharp cheddar cheese    shredded
12              corn tortillas  cut in strips

Preheat oven to 350 .

Bring water to boil in a large pan; add chicken along with the garlic
and green onions.  Turn off the heat, cover and let stand for 15-25
minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.  When cool enough to
handle, shred or cube meat.

Slice tortillas into even strips; set aside.  Shred cheese; set aside.
Stir together light sour cream and half and half; set aside.

Lightly spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Layer 1/2 the chicken, 1/2 the salsa, 1/2 the sour cream & half and
half mixture, 1/2 the tortilla strips and 1/2 the cheese; repeat the
layers.  Bake for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.


Notes:  Perfect for when you just don't have the time to prepare
individually rolled chicken enchiladas.  Also a good pot-luck dish.

Serving Ideas:  Serve steamed yellow squash & zucchini.
