Ingredients

• 3 cups chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 3 cups tortilla chips, crushed
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
• 1 cup black olives, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken with the taco seasoning. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 3

Stir in the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies. Mix well to form a creamy, flavorful mixture.

Step 4

Layer 1 1/2 cups of crushed tortilla chips in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over the crushed chips.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese over the chicken layer.

Step 7

Repeat the layers: Add the remaining crushed tortilla chips, followed by the rest of the chicken mixture, and finish with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 8

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil, ensuring it does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions and sliced black olives for extra flavor and texture.
