This recipe for Green Chile Chicken Casserole from Kim looks like a new family favorite!
“Mash-Ups” have been popular recently. It is when you take two different dishes and combine them into one, for example, a brownie + cookie = “brookie”. I’m calling this Green Chile Chicken Casserole a mash-up of sorts. I was in the mood for some comfort food, and could not decide between Chicken Casserole and Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas. I decided a would kind of smoosh (technical cooking term) the two together!
The end result was quite tasty and the comfort food I was looking for. My version isn’t spicy, so it’s great for the kids too, however, you could certainly bump up the heat if desired. Rotisserie chicken is great for dish, because the chicken is already seasoned and flavorful. Also, the slow cooker can be used to cook your chicken during the day, then it’s ready to use at dinner.

What size can of green chilies? I have tiny cans and giant cans. (About 4 oz or 30oz).
Diced or whole?
I usually use 4 oz cans.
Just made it!! So easy and Delicious! Thank You!!
Glad you liked it!
Is this something to go over rice? Looks delicious!
It could be served over rice.
Just made this. The flavor was really good. I substituted canned chicken because that’s all I had. It was a little too watery. I know I’ll make it again just less liquid.
It’s in the oven and smells wonderful! Gonna serve with warm corn tortillas
