How to Make One Pot Southwestern Chicken Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet (at least 12 inches), cook 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side, until browned.
  3. Stir in 10.75 oz can condensed cream of chicken soup, 1 (15-ounce) can chili (with beans, your preference), and 1 cup salsa. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Add 6-8 small corn or flour tortillas, torn into bite-sized pieces. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tortillas are softened.
  6. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, avocado, shredded lettuce, or jalapeños.
