MEXICAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Your family is going to love Jessica's chicken casserole. It's filled with Mexican flavor. For our taste buds, it was not spicy so if you like spice use the hot tomatoes and chiles. We love the layers of tortillas and creamy chicken filling. Cheese on top is ooey gooey good. Serve with refried beans and Spanish rice, for a fun fiesta-themed dinner.

  • Add a layer of the chicken mixture to the dish. Begin and end with tortillas.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the casserole.
  • Bake 350 F for 30 minutes. For a golden top, you can broil the top for about 40 seconds.

SUPER TASTY LITE MEXICAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE

This is one of my most requested "chicken stuff" recipes. I found it in the Cooking Light magazine (around 1998). Most of my friends don't even know that it is a ligher version of a rich calorie laden recipe because it is so tasty. I usually serve with a mixed green salad and my version of Mexican rice. This is great left over cold or hot!
