Mexican food is a favorite in our house so anytime I can incorporate it into a fast and easy recipe I do a little happy dance! This casserole is perfect for a busy weeknight or to bring to a potluck.

Making the Mexican Crunchy Chicken Casserole

Making this barely takes any prep time which is why you are sure to love it on top of how delicious it is!

Step One -Start by making the filling. You mix the cream cheese and salsa verde together until combined.

Whenever a recipe calls for cream cheese I never remember to take it out and soften it. So I always throw it in the microwave for a minute to soften it so that I can stir it in.

Step 2- Stir in chicken, green chiles, onion, cilantro, garlic and cumin.

Step 3- Start building the casserole by layer 1/4 of the tortilla chips on the bottom.

Step 4- Add a 1/3 of the chicken filling.

Step 5- Top with 1/2 cup of cheese.

Step 6- Repeat layers twice ending with the cheese.

Step 7- Cook for 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high.

Step 8- Once finished top with remaining chips and cheese and let melt on top before serving.

My favorite is this Crock Pot 7 quart Programmable Slow Cooker. First and foremost, I love being able to set the timer in case I’m not home when the food is finished cooking and it just switches to warm. Plus you can lock the lid and just carry it to a party. Not only is it easy to carry but also you will never lose another Tupperware or serving dish again at a potluck party!
