This was a super tasty dinner! The way it is layered, it reminded us of a Mexican lasagna using the mushrooms as the noodles. I made this the night before so all I had to do was throw the oven on after a long day at work. This dish could also be made in a slow cooker.

Looks great! I think I'll make it this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow many servings is this suppose to be?
ReplyDeleteAll fixed...it makes 6 servings.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Love your recipes!
ReplyDeleteWhat page in the book is the recipe on? I can't seem to find it.
ReplyDeleteIt was renamed to Mexican Chicken Casserole and is on page 114. :)
DeleteI would love to try this recipe and more but the cost of shipping alone is almost as much as the cost of another cookbook. Do you know if I can find these in a bookstore in Canada?
ReplyDeleteYou can look for my other cookbooks (looks like three are available) on the amazon canada site. :) http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/184-2277962-5705641?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=maria+emmerich&x=0&y=0
DeleteThis was really delicious! I didn't use mushrooms because I don't like them but it was fine without them. The seasoning was just spicy enough but not too hot. It is so helpful to me to find recipes like this that the whole family enjoys.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly. I love when the whole family likes my recipes. :)
