Fiesta Chicken Casserole

FIESTA CHICKEN CASSEROLE

I made this YUMMY dish the other night! It’s definitely being made again!!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked spiral pasta
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn (drained)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans (drained & rinsed)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded/chunked chicken
  • 2 cups shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a greased 9×13 baking dish.
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Make sure you add a little bit of salt to the water!
  3. While pasta is cooking, combine sour cream, salsa, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Drain the pasta once it’s done and add into the sour cream mixture. Stir to combine. Add in the corn, black beans, chicken, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir together to combine.
  5. Pour into the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover with tin foil and cook for 20 minutes.
  6. Take the tin foil off and let cook an additional 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions, tomato, black olives and avocado slices if wanted.

I cooked mine in my Pampered Chef Covered Baker so I didn’t use foil, I just used my lid. I also added the black olives and cheese after it cooked for 20 minutes, then cooked it an additional 5 just to get the cheese to melt. I also used lentil noodles! No one even knew 🙂

Enjoy!
