Texas Trash Chicken Casserole
Directions
- 1Start by covering the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with enchilada sauce.
- 2Grab a can of your favorite refried beans and a scooping device.
- 3Ploop a scoop of these beans into the enchilada sauce.
- 4Actually, ploop as many scoops as you have chicken thighs.
- 5Then add a chicken thigh on top of each one of these scoops.
- 6Then season them with taco seasoning whether it's from a packet or a shaker, it doesn't matter, just cover them with taco seasoning.
- 7Get a mixing bowl, drop in a block of softened cream cheese.
- 8Add a can of diced green chilies.
- 9A cup of shredded cheese, whatever kind you want.
- 10A quarter cup of jarred salsa or the enchilada sauce from earlier, either one.
- 11A tablespoon of taco seasoning, then mix all of this together till it's beautifully combined.
- 12And when it is, get that scooper from earlier and ploop a scoop of this mixture onto each one of these chicken thighs like this.
- 13Once you have them all on there, go ahead and spread it out, just completely cover the chicken, actually.
- 14We don't want to be able to see it when we put it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
- 15When it comes out, add a handful of cheese.
- 16And then put it back in the oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese and cook the chicken.
- 17When it comes out, it should be bubbly and beautiful like this.
- 18If you have green onions in your pocket, throw them on, make it look fancy.
- 19Get a bowl of homemade Spanish rice, put one of these chicken thighs on top.
