    Chicken Casseroles Recipes

    List of Ingredients




    Shredded or Cut-Up Chicken (however much to suit your family, we use apx 1/2 of a 3lb whole chicken…about two large chicken breasts worth)
    3/4 Sweet Yellow Onion, chopped finely
    1 Can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
    1 Can Corn, drained
    1 cup Salsa (I use half the jar of salsa that I buy, and I get restaurant style)
    1 cup Chicken Broth (I use the liquid left over from cooking my whole chicken. It’s a bit more fatty, but totally delicious.)
    2-3 cups Shredded Mozzarella cheese
    5-6 Tortillas cut into small strips(can be more or less, just depending on what you have and how big of a family you’re trying to feed! I tend to lean towards 5 so I can make this meal twice with a bag of 10 tortillas)
    Sour Cream for Topping!!

    Preheat oven to 450

    Recipe



    Sautee the chopped onion and shredded chicken along with apx 1 tbsp of the chicken drippings from cooking the chicken (or you could use oil) in a large frying pan.

    In a smaller sauce pan I heat 1 cup salsa and 1 cup chicken liquid (or broth) slowly to a boil. Then reduce heat and let simmer until ready to use.

    Meanwhile drain and rinse the beans/corn. Mix these in with the chicken and onions when the onions are tender.

    Put about half of the tortilla strips along the bottom of a lightly greased (I use spray) 9×13 casserole. Layer half of the chicken mix with half of the cheese. repeat with remaining tortilla strips, chicken mix, and cheese. Pour liquid (salsa/broth) evenly over the top.

    Bake in the oven for apx. 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. TaDa!!

    We serve this with sour cream. It makes for a perfect offset to this meal.
