Directions: |
Directions:Cook one whole chicken in water for one hour. Cool and separate the meat from the bone. Cut into bite size pieces. In a large skillet, covered slightly with the oil, cook onion until it turns clear. (I like red onion for this meal). Add chicken, mix. Add the cream cheese cubes and mix until they are nearly all melted, then add the jar of pimentos. Remove from the heat.
Pour a small amount of oil in a skillet and bring to a shimmer then add the flour tortilla. When one side is slightly browned turn to other side and repeat. Let sit between paper towels as you fry the rest of the Tortillas. Take one of the fried tortillas and fill with the chicken mixture folding in the sides and then bringing over the ends so that no mixture can escape the bottom. Place folds down in a slightly oiled glass pan (usually used to bake cakes in!). You should be able to fit in 8 large tortillas. Lay the slices of cheese across the top of the tortillas. It can be refrigerated at this point and do the rest later or you can add the cream (about half way up the side of the casserole). Cover with Reynolds Wrap. Cook in a 425º oven for about 20 minutes or until the liquid has bubbled off and the cheese is just turning brown on the top. Usually the last five minutes I take the cover off to brown up the cheese and steam off the liquid. |

Notes: I love to cook the chicken ahead and freeze it, then its easier to set up later. Also if I want a hint of garlic I cook the chicken in garlic water. You can insert a knife into the center and then touch the tip to be sure it is hot for doneness!
