Casseroles are high on my dinner list. I make them a lot and I make them often. To change up Taco Tuesdays I decided to make this Mexican Chicken Casserole. It has all the tasty ingredients of taco night, all mixed together and baked into a casserole.
How to make Mexican Chicken Casserole:
Casseroles are super easy to make, and that is why I love them. Just like all my other casseroles this is made the same way by mixing all the ingredients together and putting them in a casserole dish. You have to start off with you chicken pre-cooked and shredded. Use my All-Purpose Chicken recipe for the chicken. Mix the ingredients and crush your tortilla chips for the topping. Layer the casserole mixture into the dish and then top with the crushed tortilla chips. Bake and enjoy!
Ingredient Notes:
- Chicken – Cooked and shredded
- Taco Seasoning
- Cream of Chicken Soup
- Sour Cream
- Black Beans – drained and rinsed
- Rotel – drained
- Corn – drained
- Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese
- Tortilla Chips – crushed
Directions:
Step One – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9×13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step Two – In a large mixing bowl place cooked chicken, taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, black beans, Rotel, corn, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Mix together then place into prepared casserole dish.
Step Three – Top your chicken mixture with the remaining shredded cheese and all of the crushed tortilla chips.
Step Four – Bake for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and warm thought out. Optional: top with fresh cilantro.
Can I make this ahead of time?
This recipe can be made and prepared ahead of time.
Mix all your ingredients together and put the mix in your casserole dish.
Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap. Do not top with the tortilla chips until you are to bake.
Can I freeze this casserole?
You can freeze this casserole either before your bake it or after you bake it. If you are going to freeze it before you bake it do not add the tortilla chips.
You can freeze this casserole baked or unbaked for up to three months.
Additional Toppings for the Mexican Chicken Casserole:
I love to top this recipe with additional Taco favorites like sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and jalapenos!
What should I serve with this casserole?
