Chicken Fajita Casserole

Perfect for football weekends!

This is a simple and easy meal to make that lasts for about 3 meals between Matt and I.  We love to eat this on football game days.  As a blogger, I found this recipe on another blog and knew we had to try it.  Tonight is our second time making it and I have to admit, it's still yummy!!

Here is what you need:


  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, orange or green), sliced
  • 1 16-ounce bag tortilla chips
  • 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 12-ounce jars salsa verde or tomatillo salsa
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (low fat or regular)
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 9X13 cooking dish/pan

  • We prepared everything a head of time.  

  • Cut up and sauté the onion and peppers (we used red, yellow, and green bell peppers).
  • Boil 2-3 chicken breasts.  Shred and season it (we used salt, pepper, and all season salt).
  • Mix together 24 ounces of salsa and 3/4 cup of sour cream.

  • Once everything has been prepared, you start to layer!!

  • First Layer:


Sorry, I didn't take a picture when it was full!  But you get the picture.  Layer this on the bottom of the cooking dish/pan


Second Layer:


Add half of the onion and pepper on top of the tortilla chips.


Third Layer:


Add shredded chicken on top of that.  This was 1 chicken breast shredded.  I shredded the other chicken breast for when we repeat this step again.


Fourth Layer:

OOPS!  I forgot to take a picture :)  Shredded cheddar cheese is the next layer.  


Fifth Layer:


Add half of your salsa mix.


Repeat those steps and use up the rest of your ingredients.  After you add your "second" fifth layer of salsa mix, add more cheese!



Cover with aluminum foil and bake in oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Uncover and cook for another 20 minutes or until it looks golden brown.




Delicious!  Enjoy! :)
