Chicken Taco Casserole Recipe

Do you ever have a super busy week, we’ve got you covered with this amazing Chicken Taco Casserole.

We have had that kind of week. Our sweet sister Kristen was in a terrible car accident with her family.

Here in Utah we had freezing rain, which immediately turns to ice when it hits the ground.

All the freeways turned into ice skating rinks and it makes driving so scary.

Kristen and her family were headed out to visit us when a semi-truck went out of his lane.

This caused them to swerve to miss hitting him. This sent them spinning into the side of the semi-truck.

Their car was totaled and they had to rip off the door to pull Kristen out. Her arm is in a sling from injuring her elbow. But other than that, the family is fine. We are so grateful that they are all okay.

Kristen was sitting where the windshield is broken in. An accident like this quickly puts everything into perspective on the importance of families. We held our kids a little tighter tonight and took our time with bedtime stories.

    Wow! That was a scary accident. I am so glad that everyone is OK (aside from Kristen's injured elbow). It is really amazing that there was only a minor injury with the way the car looked. I like your comment, "I held my family a little tighter that night and didn't hurry through our bedtime story . . . you just never know." That is so true.

    Oh my gosh, I am so glad her and her family are okay. The roads last Thursday were the iciest roads I have ever driven on here in Utah. Just from watching the news and seeing how many accidents and how many people were in the hospital from falling on the ice shows you how bad the roads were that day/night. On a happier note, your casserole sounds delicious.

    I am stationed in Okinawa with my husband and our off-base house does not have an oven nor does it have hookups for an American oven. Do you think this recipe would work if I made it in an aluminum foil pan and cooked it on medium-high heat in a covered grill for about 30 mins? Also, glad to hear your sister is okay!!!

I'm now the owner of a number of screws and plates ... not great, BUT I'm not in a wheelchair anymore - or worse.

I made the recipe just as written, and laid out toppings like for them to put what they wanted on top like: Salsa, extra sour cream, green onions, cilantro. I think black olives would have been good too. Thank you for a delicious recipe.

    Thank God your sister and family are ok. We had a horrible accident 35 yrs. ago. Our son was just 8. days old. We were both thrown out of our pickup. The truck landed on me and baby carrier was upside under one of the tires. On impact he slid out of the top and thrown into a snow bank. When the police finally found him he just had a tiny scratch on his forehead. I had a crushed arm and broken ribs. Three surgeries over the next year. Still have problems from that wreck and our son does not like cold weather but we were so lucky. Thankful to our Heavenly Father everyday. I will definitely try this receipe.

    First let me say I am glad your family is OK. God was definitely with them and brought them through this ordeal safely. Praise be to him. Secondly I made the Chicken Taco casserole for my two nieces last night. Oh I must say how they enjoyed it. My skeptical husband said he would find something else to eat - but....he was won over by the taste. I loved the additional of black beans in this, which made it a bit more hearty. I have shared your blog and this recipe with a good number of my friends. Happy New Year to your and yours. -Florida foodie

    I made this lastnight, and since our local grocery store's chicken just really didn't look good, I substituted canned chicken. It came out GREAT!

    What would be the best way to cook and shred the chicken for This recipe? I know cooking it in a crock pot all day would do it but is there any other way to do it and much faster?

    We don't do a lot of casseroles around here but this one i've made twice and we are big fans. I used half light sour cream and half greek yogurt, made my own taco seasoning and before serving put some avocado slices and green onions on top. yum! Husband is a fan too which is saying something as he is one picky eater!

    This was fantastic! I used baked tortilla chips and homemade cream-of soup. Turned out great and I made an extra for a freezer meal for another day. Thank you!

      After reading over the ingredients this should work fine as a freezer meal. Just thaw and heat!

    I am not a big fan of cream of chicken soup. Can recipe be cooked with just one can of soup? It looks like there is more than enough cream with soup and sour cream.

      We have made it with 2 cans of soup. One can might make it too dry.

    Made this last night (minus the black beans) and everyone loved it! My kids are very picky eaters but my 8 year old said it was the best meal I've ever made and after my 4 year old initially said "yuck" he ended up eating 2 full plates! Big success!

    Can you use ground chicken in this recipe? And if so should I season it while browning?

      You can totally add ground chicken in this recipe. Cook your chicken and then add it in as you would the cooked and shredded chicken.

    This recipe was wonderful. One of the best taco casseroles I've had (and I make it alot). It was really easy to put together & the chips really threw it over the edge!

    Taco casserole was so good. I changed it up a little. Used 2 cans Roltel 10 oz each. Put in 15 oz corn drained with black beans drained. Added more taco seasoning. Not runny.Used a rotisserie chicken. easy peasy. tasted amazing!.

    This was so good! I didn’t drain tomatoes and I didn’t have any taco seasoning so I just make my own. Definitely making again, would be perfect for a party dish!

    Are the tortilla chips supposed to be crunchy? I cooked it for 22 minutes because cheese was bubbly and brown.

      They will soften as the soupy mixture continues to soak into the crushed chips.

      You could freeze it, but the chips might turn soft.

    This is absolutely delicious!! I accidentally added a cand of jalepinos instead of diced green chiles but it gave it a kick that worked! Even my picky fiancé loved it. Definitely on rotation in my Prepear meal plan.

      Greek yogurt is best as a sub for sour cream: It's thick and tangy, just like sour cream, so it makes the perfect even swap in most recipes.
