Prep Time: | Cook Time: | Servings: | Calories:
<p>This cheesy green chile bake has the creamy green sauce that you would find in enchiladas without the tortillas. The sauce base is made from roasted green chiles, cream cheese, chicken broth, and spice. Once the creamy green sauce is poured over the top of the chicken, Sargento® Sliced Colby-Jack Natural Cheese is layered on top and then sprinkled with shredded Sargento® Block Extra Sharp Cheddar Natural Cheese for a delicious blend of melted white and yellow cheeses.</p>
