Description

This comforting Sour Cream Chicken Casserole is a hearty, family-friendly meal that combines tender cooked chicken with a rich, creamy sauce and crunchy Frito corn chips. The blend of sour cream, shredded cheese, and mild chilies creates a luxurious texture with just the right amount of savory spice. It's a perfect weeknight dinner solution, requiring minimal prep time while delivering maximum satisfaction. Serve it hot with a side of green beans or a simple salad for a balanced plate.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Crush 3 cups of the Frito corn chips slightly and spread them evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped mild chilies, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and white pepper.
  4. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the layer of corn chips in the casserole dish.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken mixture.
  6. Spread the sour cream smoothly over the cheese, ensuring full coverage.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of corn chips over the top.
  10. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is lightly toasted.
