Description

This salsa verde chicken casserole is a deliciously creamy and cheesy chicken recipe, great for entertaining! It’s an easy Mexican chicken casserole filled with the bold flavors of salsa verde, green chilies, and sharp shredded cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups salsa verde chicken (or shredded rotisserie chicken, see note)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can Rotel
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/81/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 23 cups shredded cheese (I used cheddar/jack blend)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
  2. In a large bowl combine the chicken, sour cream, Rotel, cumin, cayenne and salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Spread about 1/2 cup of the mixture into the bottom of a 4 quart or (8×8) baking dish. Top that with 4 corn tortillas. You can rip the tortillas to fit if necessary. They can overlap.
  4. Spread half of the remaining chicken mixture on top of the tortillas. Top that with 1 cup of cheese.
  5. Repeat this with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture and cheese.
  6. Bake the casserole for 25 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  7. Allow the casserole to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • If you don’t have the pre-made salsa verde chicken just sub in 2 cups of shredded Rotisserie Chicken mixed with 1/3 cup of jarred salsa verde.
