A wonderful recipe and loved the chicken instead of ground beef. I used chicken tenderloins that I cut into bite size pieces and browned in some olive oil along with the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Added the rest of the ingredients and warmed thru but had a soupy mixture so I used a slotted spoon to layer the caserole. Baked for 30 minutes and it was perfect! Served with sour cream and tortilla chips on the side. Thank you mostrah for posting a great recipe! Made and reviewed for the photo forums Tex Mex Challenge.
