Delicious Mexican Chicken Casserole

If this Mexican Chicken Casserole looks familiar, it’s because I first posted this last July over at I Heart Naptime. This is seriously one of my favorite casserole recipes. There is something about a one dish dinner that completely makes my day. I love using less dishes, but who doesn’t? This casserole is one of those dishes that your family will want time and time again, and one of my favorite all time meals to make. You can make this Delicious Mexican Chicken Casserole in right under an hour (and it tastes so good!)

Add a side of your favorite salsa and chips, and you are all set with dinner! Let’s get started…

  1. I love how easy this dish is. You could easily multiply this for a large crowd as well, and then have tomatoes and guacamole and whatever else. I’m pinning..

  2. Mmm. I’ve been on a Mexican food kick lately. I think I always am but I’ve noticed I’ve been pinning more and more.

  3. I don’t know what it is about Mexican dishes, but I really enjoy them! They are so good. I buy Rotel by the boxes at Costco because I’m making these types of dishes at least once a week! This dish looks yummy enough to try! Thanks for sharing your recipe at Inspire Me mondays!
