NANNY'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Nanny's Chicken Casserole image

This is my Grandmother's recipe for chicken casserole. It is by far the best comfort food in the world. I usually double the recipe to allow for plenty of leftovers. FYI this recipe can get rather salty so I use the reduced sodium StoveTop when I can find it, if it's not available I use reduce sodium soups. Some in our family like to pair this with cranberry sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
7 (6 inch) flour tortillas, or as needed
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until onion is mostly tender and meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Add black beans, corn, tomatoes, and tomato sauce; stir until well combined.
  • Bring mixture to a low simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Taste mixture and adjust the seasonings as desired.
  • Spoon a couple of good-sized scoops of meat mixture onto the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, and spread into a thin layer. Lay about half of the tortillas over the sauce, breaking them in half as needed to make a fairly even layer without too much overlap. Add remaining meat mixture over the tortilla layer. Top with remaining tortillas, again breaking into pieces as necessary to evenly cover the surface.
  • Cover with shredded cheese. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick cooking spray, and set the sprayed side against the cheese to cover the casserole dish (this helps prevent "cheese loss" when you remove the foil).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbly and cheese is nicely melted, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into wedges or scooping out to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of colorful vegetables to make the dish more appealing and nutritious. Some good options include bell peppers, corn, black beans, and tomatoes.
  • If you don't have a taco seasoning packet, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • To make the casserole extra cheesy, add a layer of shredded cheese to the top before baking.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite taco toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.
  • For a healthier version of the casserole, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
