Chicken Tamale Casserole

This recipe is so easy and my whole family loved it.  We will definitely be seeing this recipe again at my house! I was using pantry items to make this meal and all I had was a whole chicken.  I baked it using the high heat method.  It was quick and easy! If you like your Mexican HOT choose the hot enchilada sauce.

Ingredients
1 cup (4oz) pre-shredded 4-cheese Mexican blend cheese, divided
1/3 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8.5-ounce) box corn muffin mix (I used Jiffy)
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
non-stick cooking spray
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce (I used Old El Paso mild)
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Combine 1/4 cup cheese and the next 7 ingredients (through chiles) in a large bowl, stirring just until moist.  Pour mixture into 9 x 13 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

3. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until set (I had to cook mine a little longer.) Pierce entire surface liberally with a fork; pour enchilada sauce over top.  Top with chicken; sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese.  Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until cheese melts.  Remove from oven; let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces; top each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream.

Menu Plan Monday July 25-July 31

I have been doing Weight Watchers and I plan my meals around my points+ number.  I try to make meals my whole family will eat.  I linked recipes from my old blog, but many of them will not have the new points+.  I plan to refigure points+ as I make them and plan to post those recipes on this blog as I try to move things over to this new blog.  This menu came by planning with what I had on hand and only getting milk and produce.
The Plan
Monday: Tacos with garden tomatoes, Spanish Rice
Tuesday: Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes, bacon, fruit
Wednesday: Rapid Roast Chicken, 80 calorie Betty Crocker Mashed Potatoes, green beans, Buttery Bread Machine Rolls
Thursday: Unstuffed Green Pepper Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Friday: Pizza (Here's the dough recipe I use.) I top with spaghetti sauce lightly and light cheese. Serve with a salad.
Saturday: Crispy Chicken Drumsticks, corn on the cob, cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, Weight Watchers White Bread
Sunday: Easy Enchilladas, Spanish Rice, corn
