One-Pot Chicken Taco Casserole
Adapted from MyFitnessPal, this casserole comes together very quickly and is perfect for serving a crowd - without letting on that you're being healthy about it!
Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds lean ground chicken breast
- 1 large onion
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 15 ounces corn
- 15 ounces black beans
- 15 ounces pinto beans
- 1 cup grated low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup white cheddar powder (I like this Frontier White Cheddar Cheese Powder)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Finely chop the onion, and mix with the chicken breast and taco seasoning.
- Press the chicken mixture into a 9x12 glass baking dish. No need to spray it with oil! You can also use a smaller dish for a thicker casserole, but I like that using the bigger dish makes it crispy.
- Layer on the corn, black beans, and pinto beans, spreading them out to cover the whole dish.
- Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.
- Remove the casserole and top with the grated cheese and then the cheddar powder.
- Put the casserole back into the oven, but on a lower rack so the cheese doesn't burn. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Serve with Greek yogurt as a topper (healthier than sour cream!) and tortilla chips for a little indulgence :)
