How do I make this Mexican chicken casserole recipe?
First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish and add the chicken breasts. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and add the taco seasoning. Toss the chicken in the oil and seasonings so that it is evenly coated.
Add your peppers, onions and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes covered with foil. After 20 minutes remove the foil and return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes, or until your chicken is fully cooked. Now, enjoy!

Tips for the best Mexican Chicken Casserole
- Don’t skimp on the seasoning! You want all of the chicken to be well seasoned.
- If you want a little more spice, you can add the taco seasonings to your veggies as well.
- The veggies are not sauteed before they are added to this dish, so they retain a little crunch. If you prefer your peppers and onions to be a little bit softer, I would lightly saute them before adding to the casserole dish
