This mexican casserole is almost a throw together meal and it’s full of flavor!

I prepare everything the night before, keep it refrigerated overnight, and put it in the oven when I’m ready to feed the masses!

You will notice that I don’t have a lot of pictures for this recipe. That’s because you pretty much cut and dump the ingredients into a dish and cook it! How nice is that?!

Ingredients for Mexican Casserole

Three chicken breasts (about 1.5-2 lbs.)

Two yellow peppers

One green pepper

Three or four tomatoes

Two handfuls of fresh cilantro

One can Cream of Chicken Soup

One jar of tomatillo salsa

Shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar Cheese OR Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend

Sourdough bread

Recipe for Mexican Casserole

Step One: Preheat the oven to 350° F and spray the inside of a 2.5 quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step Two: Cut the chicken into chunks and drop them in the dish.

Step Three: Chop up the yellow peppers, the green pepper, and the tomatoes. Drop them in the casserole dish too.

Step Four: Chop up the cilantro. (I use kitchen scissors…that only touch food…to cut it up, just like in this homemade marinara sauce.) Drop it in.

Step Five: Add the can of Cream of Chicken Soup and the tomatillo salsa.

Step Six: Stir up all the ingredients, cover, and place the dish in the oven for 45 minutes.

Step Seven: Sprinkle the cheese onto the casserole (about three handfuls) and put it back in the oven for 15 more minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Step Eight: Once the chicken is cooked, place a few pieces of sourdough bread in a shallow bowl and cover it with the mexican casserole. Garnish with cilantro.

Serve by itself or add guacamole, sour cream, or more salsa!
