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!

I’m Midwestern, we do things mild 😉

This is the second time I’ve made this recipe actually. The first time I completely forgot to get a picture of it so I just couldn’t post it without a picture now could I? That was ok because I got to make it again and enjoy another meal of it.

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!

More delicious casseroles you and your family will love!

Do you freeze the casserole before cooking, if I need it for a later date.?

After I got it all mixed up I cooked me a little plate in the microwave. It was just ok and every bite was the same so I added chopped red and green bell peppers and onion, sautéed until tender; chili powder and cumin. It was better but still not great. Sorry, but I think a chicken died for this?

  Hmmm well in my opinion when I eat any recipe I expect the entire thing to taste the same so I’m not sure that’s a complaint, but yes all of those extra additions would add more flavor. It’s really a preference for each person.
