Chicken and Chiles Casserole
This casserole is easy to prepare and can be made ahead if you have a busy day coming up. It makes good use of leftover meat and is very filling. —Lois Keel, Alburquerque, New Mexico

Thanks for the heads-up about the blandness. I will make this, but I will make adjustments. We don't do bland.
This is a good basic casserole. If you want more heat, another can of chilies and/or a few shots of your favorite hot sauce or Franks Wing sauce. There are a lot of potatoes so it may take a good bit of added seasoning for those of us who don't really care for "bland."
Just didn't make it for me~ Wouldn't make again. Too bland
I just made this tonight, but instead of the sour cream, I added some cream cheese. I also doubled the amount of green chilis and added velveeta and cheddar cheese to make it extra cheesy. It was delicious.
This is really bland in flavor. Not sure what to add it to. Maybe more green chilies or garlic? It is good but if I make it again I will definitely add more spices. It might be better with like mild sausage to make it more flavorful.
Good casserole for a group. I did add a second can of chilies though.
Not bad but was a little bland for us. Will make again but will spice it up a bit.
Easy and tasty. We used ham.
I have been making this for years. I always get compliments on it.It's easy to make and is very good.
Made this for the family, which consists of 2 picky boys, and we all liked it. I did use light sour cream as well as 2% cheese. Will try adding some spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower next time for some needed nutrients.
