NOTES

  • It’s easy to swap out ingredients (like the beans, cheese, and chiles) in this casserole if needed. Add more of the ingredients you love, and skip the ones you don’t.
  • Fully preheat the oven before baking.
  • Make sure the chicken has been cooked before adding it into the casserole.

Variations:

  • Add a crunch: For an element of crunch and texture, add a handful of crushed tortilla chips on top before baking.
  • Beans: Not a fan of black beans? Swap them out for pinto beans, or spread a layer of refried beans on top of the chicken mixture in the pan.
  • Swap out the cheese: I love the ease of the premixed Mexican blend, but feel free to experiment with any of your favorite cheeses to make it your own. Pepper jack is a great option for some spice!
  • Add some heat: Amp up the spiciness with some diced jalapeños instead of (or in addition to) the green chiles. You can also add in some cayenne powder.

Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days, or the freeze up to 3 months.
