I was looking for a healthy and creative way to use up some things I had in the pantry. I like this recipe because it is so easy to prepare, very he4althy, and everyone in the family likes it. It is great for a family meal, as party fare, or to take to a pot luck. I also like it because you can feed a lot of people with a few inexpensive ingredients.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make and the flavors were good, but the chicken was a little dry. I think I would try it again with boneless, skinless chicken breasts to see if that makes a difference.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a good dish to make ahead of time and reheat for a quick meal.

I'm not a fan of casseroles, but this one was actually pretty good. The flavors were nice and the chicken was cooked well.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the casserole was bland. I would not recommend it.

I love this casserole! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add some extra green chilies to give it a little more spice.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and it turned out great. The black beans and corn added a nice texture and the spices gave it a nice kick. I will definitely be making this again.
