I made this recipe with the directions above. Except for black beans.  I used Pinto beans, whole milk greek yogurt, and no onions (alergic). Otherwise I made it exactly as above.  Served with Tortilla chips and a salad. So simple, but awesome!

Delicious!! Perfect for me and the kids!!

Delicious ,  easy ,  filling, casserole.  It’s one of my favorites

I wish I could give this recipe 10 stars!  It was absolutely fabulous.  I ate it 5 nights in a row and never tired of it.  This will be a definite part of my dinner rotation.  Thanks 🥰

This recipe was incredibly easy and a perfect way to use a rotisserie chicken. I usually grab a couple from Costco, and this is honestly my favorite way I’ve ever used one. I didn’t have any bell peppers on hand, but it still turned out great. For how little effort it takes, the results were impressive. It’s also gluten-free, which is a huge plus in our celiac household. I have two very picky kids with autism and a tween daughter who’s hard to please, and everyone loved it.

Exactly what I was looking for it is a family favorite.

I love this recipe...I love to use rotisserie chickens for meals.
Nice and easy, had all ingredients in pantry.
This one is so easy my husband can add it to his recipe box for his nights to prep dinner!
Try it...you'll love it!

SO GOOD! Instead of mixing the beans in with the chicken mixture, I sprinkled them on top before adding the chips and cheese but only on half of the dish because, well…KIDS! Not big fans of beans so they had their half and we had ours 😊 And it was yummy!! Can totally see this working as app/dip by not adding the chips and just using Frito Scoops or tortilla chips to scoop up the yumminess. Yes… I am ready for some FOOTBALL to make this! Thanks so much.
 (GO BIRDS!😂🦅💚🖤)

It was delish. I did not add tortilla chips to reduce the carbs and used 2% Greek yogurt and sour cream.it wss great and hubby loved it.

I didn’t have green pepper. And I had to use taco cheese instead of Colby. Still came out delicious and earned its place in a permanent rotation. Thank you!
