Ingredients
- 2 cups coarsely crushed tortilla chips
- 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-size pieces
- 1 (4 ounce) Can Chopped Green Chilies
- 1 ½ cups frozen corn
- 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup, (I use Campbell's Healthy Request)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, well drained
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Mexican blend cheese
- For topping: sliced green onions, sliced black olives, diced avocado, sour cream, salsa, additional crushed chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Place broken tortilla chips in the bottom of prepared dish. Top with chicken, green chilies, and frozen corn. Sprinkle with taco seasoning.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the condensed soup and the milk to form a smooth cheese sauce. Spread the sauce evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil; sprinkle with the diced tomatoes and the shredded cheese.
- Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, for approximately 15-20 more minutes (or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese melts). Garnish with desired toppings and serve!

Notes
- I start with raw, diced chicken breast; however, you can sub with boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer the dark meat. For even easier meal prep, use rotisserie chicken or already shredded chicken and cut down on the baking time.
