Jalapeno Chicken Casserole

"Instead of using jalapenos, you can substitute 1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chilies. It won't be as hot. You can also substitute turkey for the chicken."

Made this with a precooked rotisserie chicken & corn tortillas instead of chips; it was great! Thought 6 jalapenos would be too spicy, but if you make sure to get all the seeds it's fine. -
This was okay. Felt like trying something new and had all ingredients on hand. Totally reminds me of a spinach artichoke dip type of thing. Next time I make this I will serve it as a type of dip and leave out the chips. Add will try adding some garlic as well. -
Have not made it yet but i wish you would have it written as to be able to print it out , this spread out wastes so much paper.. -
Oh wow, this was so delicious and well received by everyone in our household, even our pickiest eater. It wasn't until I was dishing up the servings that I realized I had completely forgotten to include the green onions (oops!). And I used the more mild pepper option and used canned diced green chilies. Despite those two minor changes, this was a spectacular dish. I will definitely make this again (maybe even using jalapeno peppers for more depth of flavor). Thanks for sharing your recipe, weekend cooker. -
This recipe was ok my family is very picky and I was trying to remake a recipe that someone made at a company function however, it was not the same recipe. I used 3 chicken Breast and fresh squeezed lime juice on the chicken and then I cooked the onions, cumin, jalapeno's and garlic. I then added the soup and warmed it up in the skillet with the onions, cumin, and garlic. I then added the chicken and spinach to the mixture and followed all other directions. I personally thought it wasn't to bad but I don't think will be making it anytime soon either the family didn't particularly care for it. I was surprised however, that you couldn't taste the spinach in the recipe.
