Chile Relleno Casserole

This dish was inspired by the Pioneer Woman's recipe from Food Network called "Lazy Chile Rellenos".  You are supposed to use whole chiles, but I couldn't find them at the store, so decided to improvise.  I also added chicken (store bought rotisserie!) to make it a heartier casserole.
Ingredients:
Chicken
Canned green chiles - I used 2 small cans
Fresh poblano pepper
1/2 red onion
2 cloves garlic
Monterrey Jack Cheese
Eggs
Half & Half (or whole milk)
Chicken stock
Smoked paprika, dried chilies, cumin, garlic powder, salt pepper

This was an amazing engagement present from my twin sister, Holly!  A mortar and pestle from Williams Sonoma.  It is great for grinding dried chilies!

I wanted to add an extra element and layer, so sautéed 2 fresh poblano peppers, 1/2 red onion and garlic.  This went on top of the chicken and canned green chilies, and a layer of cheese.

After you have all of your layers, you add the egg mixture on top which was 5 eggs, 1 cup of half and half, a splash of chicken stock, dried chilies, and chives.
