Easy Chicken Green Chili Casserole Ingredients
- 2 lb shredded chicken, cooked
- 3 T taco seasoning
- 3/4 cup chili Verde salsa
- 1 can mild green chilies, drained
- 16 oz cottage cheese
- 5 oz Colby jack or Mexican blend cheese, sliced or shredded
- Sour cream, optional
- Optional green onions
Instructions
- Bake at 375 degrees F.
- Combine the cottage cheese, salsa, green chilies, and taco seasoning in a medium bowl.
- Add the shredded chicken and thoroughly blend.
- Use nonstick cooking spray to spray your baking dish.
- Fill an 11×7 baking dish with the mixture.
- Sliced or shredded cheese should be used to cover the casserole.
- The cheese should be bubbling and melted after 20 minutes of baking.
- If desired, garnish with green onions.
- If desired, serve with salsa and sour cream.
Notes
- We pre-cooked our chicken right before making the casserole, so it was still warm. If you start with cold pre-cooked chicken, the casserole may need to cook a little longer.
- If you don’t drain the cottage cheese, your casserole will be runny!!
- Regular cottage cheese is preferred over light cottage cheese because it adds more liquid to the mixture.
- It is also recommended to use a chunkier salsa rather than a runnier salsa. A salsa with more liquid may leave a little liquid in the bottom of the casserole after cooking.
