It was OK but bland. I ended up adding spices like cumin,garlic, onion and pepper and then topped with salsa and sour cream when i served it. No extra salt was needed probably because of the canned soups. But my 4 year old granddaughter liked it so that says something!

a cup or so of salsa to spice it up!

I have to agree that this dish needed just a bit "more" of something. So, I did use an extra can of rotel, layered with sharp cheddar, seasoned my chicked with seasoned salt and pepper, added onions and parm cheese while cooking my chicken prior to the oven bake. Overall, great dish and the hubby was happy. You can never go wrong with cheese. =) Thanks.

My house LOVES this dish!!! It is a staple in my dinner menu. I have two young kids (VERY picky-eaters!) and they clean their plates every time I serve Mexcian Chicken. It is easy, makes great leftovers, budget-friendly, and I usually have all the ingredients in the pantry anyway. I do use Rotel tomatoes and I make guacomole to compliment it. Thanks, Paula! ![]()

Very bland. Maybe with rotel or some taco seasoning it would taste better.

Bland and boring. I ran out of tortillas and had to use taco chips instead. I don't think it would have made any difference though because overall the dish had no flavor.

Oh my gosh this sounds awesome & I have got to try it!!

I agree with Kat! This dish had no flavor what so ever! My husband and I are not picky eaters either. Yuck! Never again will I make this!

We just finished supper for the evening - Mexican Chicken. Yum! I, like many others on the "Comments," substituted Rotel tomatoes. It was delicious and a perfect dish for the rainy evening we are having. We will definitely have this dish again.

I'm sorry - but this dish was really gross. I just made it tonight and it was really missing any kind of flavor... It was just a lump of goo plus soggy tortillas..... and what about it is Mexican?... the tortillas i guess?? I feel 30 pounds heavier... I'm wondering what the next 3 hours will be like for my digestive system.... On the plus side, it was budget friendly! ....

I would probably use Rotel Tomatoes to give it a little extra kick, but this looks really good!

I feel like it would be really good if you added some chopped up onions and maybe some cumin and paprika for flavor!
By Adrienne Ervin on December 07, 2011
Change the tomatoes to...ROTEL TOMATOES...love this cassrole,have made this many times..
By Darlene Stevens on December 06, 2011
Love Mex Chicken Casserole. In mine, I substitute Rotel tomatoes, mild or medium, and tortilla chips. Great!!! Never any leftovers:(

Hello, they are comments, they're there so others can read them to get someone's opinion on the recipe. Are you that dumb? I must say myself, I liked all of the suggestions people made, especially about using rotel. Great recipe! :D

Everyone loved this dish! I added a can of mushrooms (because we love mushrooms) and sprinkled salt and pepper over the top then mixed it together. It turned out great!! Served with Paula's Mexican Rice and my own doctored refried beans and Mexican cornbread!! Would make this dish again!!

By TERESA THOMASON on November 04, 2011
I really wanted to like this since it was so easy to prepare, but it was just bland. I used Rotel tomatoes as some suggested and that made it edible. There was no particular flavor that stood out and there was no texture to the dish. Unfortunately this recipe is not a keeper for me.
