Mexican Polenta Casserole image

My family lovingly calls this dish "Mexican slop". I found this recipe online awhile back, and it originally included 1 lb ground beef instead of the chicken. I've never tried it with beef, but I'm sure it would taste good that way too. Great served with some sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
