Chicken Enchilada Casserole

So tonight, since I didn't have to work, I decided to cook dinner finally! And because it could be a while before my next meal, I thought I'd make my first contribution to this wonderful blog. This is my mom's recipe, and it's so quick and easy. My parents grew up in New Mexico, and my hubby served his mission there, so they all have a serious love for green chile. This was one of my favorite meals growing up as I have learned to appreciate a little spice too. Let's just say I wowed the hubby. (Poor guy- he's impressed with anything home cooked lately). Enjoy!

1 Small Onion, Diced

Boil chicken breasts. Tear or cut up tortillas. Saute onions in butter. Add soups, broth, green chile, and salt and pepper to taste, stir on medium heat til combined.
