Mock Chilaquiles

Sunday morning and everyone is hungry. I have about a cup of leftover grilled chicken and chicken pulled off the bones of a couple of chicken breasts that I had simmered for stock. I've also got about a cup of decent stock from same. I have six corn tortillas, a jar of salsa, and some Monterey Jack cheese.

First, I diced the chicken to make it go a little further. Then I poured about a cup of medium chunky salsa into a bowl and thinned it with about 3/4 cup of the chicken stock. I put 1/4 cup or so of this mixture into the bottom of my Deep Covered Baker. Next, I dipped 3 of the corn tortillas into the salsa mixture and then put them in the bottom of the baker. I sprinkled about half the chicken over this and then topped it with about 3/4 cup of shredded Jack cheese. Then I repeated the layers, starting with the tortillas. I ended by pouring the remaining salsa mixture over the whole thing and topped it off with another 3/4 cup or so of Jack cheese.

I put the baker in the microwave and zapped it on high for 11 minutes. I let it sit for about 10 minutes to firm up a bit. It was great with a dollop of sour cream on top!

So with just 5 ingredients, I ended up with a great brunch dish. We had some fresh cantaloupe as well, and not surprisingly--NO LEFTOVERS.
