This is such a flavorful, and easy dish! I love anything with Mexican flavors, cheese and chicken.  Mix some stuff together plop your chicken on top.  Bake and done!

Mexican Chicken Bake

 

You can’t believe the flavors in this thing.  We have been eating it for a couple days and I am still not tired of it!   We topped it with Cotija cheese but I didn’t get a pic of that.  If you have access to a sprinkle of Cotija or Feta it kicks the flavor up even more.

Check out how easy this is….I mixed up all the stuff in a bowl and poured it into a casserole dish, but nothing is stopping you from just mixing it up right in the dish.  No one’s judging here…  (Don’t you love the blur on that photo?  Am I just the best photographer ever?  Ummmm, no.)

I cut three chicken breasts in half and placed on top…all raw and stuff.  It aint pretty but it sure is easy!  Sprinkled with a bit of salt and pepper and in the oven it goes!

    So delicious! i didn’t think something so easy could be this good! I only had chicken breasts with skin and bone, and it was still great. Definitely a keeper recipe!

    This recipe sounds soooo good!

    I’m definitely a sucker for anything Tex-Mex / Mexican and love the way this dish looks with the ooey-gooey cheese! I will be making this one soon for sure.

    Thanks for sharing! 🙂
