Today is Boxing Day. December 26th.

This holiday has nothing to do with a boxing ring or leather gloves. It has everything to do with celebrating.

In Great Britain and all across the Commonwealth countries they celebrate Boxing Day. That means Canada, Australia, and many more.

So why does Boxing Day exist?

Chicken and Green Chili Casserole

Lots of folks still have family around after Christmas. This is a great way to feed them and if you served turkey at the holiday you can use leftover turkey in this dish.

This chicken casserole will remind you of chilies Rellenos. If you like those you’ll be a big fan of this low-carb dish. Simple to put together and toss in the oven. And Voila! Dinner. I serve with slices of avocado on the side dusted with a bit of grated sea salt.

Servings: Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

2 cups of diced or shredded cooked chicken (I just baked chicken tenders at 375 degrees for 15 – 20 minutes. Then chop up.)
3 cups of shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1 1/2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
2 cans of diced green chiles (4 oz each)
2 large eggs
2 Tbl of whipping cream
1 Tbl of all-purpose flour

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a nine-inch casserole dish with olive oil spray. Sprinkle in half of the two kinds of cheese. Layer on one can of the chilies. Now scatter your cooked chicken on top. Top that with the other can of chilies. Top all of that with the remaining cheese.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and flour. Drizzle that over the cheese surface. Try to cover as much as you can but if you miss a few spots it won’t matter.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until set. Cool for 10 minutes before you serve it.

Enjoy!
Cheers,
