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.

You know I love slow cooking, so next up are two recipes for the crockpot. First is Chicken and Dumplings in the Slow Cooker. This recipe uses flour tortillas for the dumplings. Super simple and good too. Not only that, but the chicken cooks in the slow cooker, so you don’t even need to have cooked chicken on hand.
Another slow cooker version of Chicken and Dumplings. This one uses frozen gnocchi. The seasonings are different than the other versions. Garlic and Italian seasoning change things up a bit. I’ve made this recipe on the stove top when I failed to plan ahead and it worked perfectly.
So there you go. Four ways to make the best comfort food in the world. Try them all!
