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!

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken in a medium saucepan. Fill with enough water to just cover chicken. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain and let cool 10 minutes.
  • Cut cooled chicken into 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Add beans, sour cream, 1 cup Mexican cheese, chilies, cumin, and black pepper and mix well. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining cup of Mexican cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with salsa on the side.
