Mexican Chicken Casserole
Wowzers! If you are looking for a recipe with a little bit of kick this definitely has it in loads! This Mexican Chicken Casserole has a kick from the Rotel diced tomatoes. Don’t worry, it won’t make your upper lip bead with sweat, but it provides some bang when you want it! Now, I use the regular Rotel, but if you want to kick up the heat a level go for the HOT Rotel!

This is not for the faint of heart or for faint taste buds, but it’s a little bit of a twist on your usually same old casseroles that’s for sure! Plus, I made it after work and it was easy and fast, which is what I look for these days that’s for sure!
Trying to work, keep a halfway decently clean house, make supper, do laundry, take care of a baby sure keeps me busy. Kudos to all you moms out there. I now fully understand why you are stressed most of the time!!

Mexican Chicken Spaghetti
Now, like I said before I’m Midwestern, aka from Minnesota. Around these parts we call casseroles “Hot Dishes”. Do you know what a Hot Dish is?
Essentially it’s just a casserole, but after I started to blog I had to retrain myself to call a Hot Dish a casserole. It was tricky, but now I’m finally there for the most part but it still sounds a little foreign coming out of my mouth.
Now, you can totally call this Mexican Chicken Hot Dish or Mexican Chicken Casserole. I will know what you mean either way!
Can you freeze Mexican Chicken Casserole?
You bet! This dish can be made ahead and frozen. Leftovers taste even better on day two! I love a great meal that offers so much flavor, but is easy and affordable.
This is a great pantry meal! Print off this recipe and tape it on the fridge. Next time you buy a rotisserie chicken, this is the perfect meal to make with the leftovers!

I don’t know what happened but now, you can NOT print the directions, when you click, “Print directions” and when you click “Jump to the recipe” or “Print Recipe” all you get is the picture of it. :(((((((
I was able to print this so easily when I made it 3 weeks ago and today it’s a nightmare. So bummed.
Julie Evink says

Did you add fresh chopped tomatoes to the top after baking? Are the Rotel tomatoes also combined before baking? I will have to use plain canned diced tomatoes as my husband doesn’t like the heat, but I’ll add some chili powder for flavor. Anything else? Sweet dreams with your kiddos…. I remember…. xoxo
Julie Evink says
Yes I added fresh tomatoes to the top. Yes you will combine everything except the cheese with the pasta before baking like the directions instruct.
