Ingredients:
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
2 jalapeno peppers, halved, seeded, finely chopped
2 medium cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp)
1 tbsp cumin seeds, ground with spice grinder (I use already ground cumin)
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup chopped grape tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 oz ground chicken
2 large eggs
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock
6 oz cheddar cheese, grated
9 oz tortilla chips, finely crushed
8 oz tomatillos, pulsed in processor until crushed
Salsa & sour cream, for serving alongside (optional)
Adjust oven rack to middle postion and preheat oven to 375F. Line 9 x 5″ loaf pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat to shimmering. Add onions, pepper, jalapenos, and 1 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in garlic, cumin, cayenne, coriander, oregano, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and tomatoes. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Transfer to large bowl and cool briefly, about 10 minutes. Add chicken, eggs, cilantro, lime juice, broth, cheese, chips and 3/4 tsp salt. Toss gently until thoroughly combined. Gently pack into loaf pan.
Bake 30 minutes. Stir crushed tomatillos with 1/4 tsp salt and spread over top of casserole. Continue to bake until the center of the casserole registers 160F on an instant read thermometer, about 30-45 minutes more (it usually takes mine the 45 mins). Let rest in pan 10 minutes. Lift out of pan, slice… serve salsa and sour cream alongside for dipping.
