Ingredients
Scale

- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can Ro’tel tomatoes (with diced green chilies)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, Ro’tel tomatoes, sour cream, milk, and taco seasoning. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

- You can prepare this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight before baking.
- Feel free to use other types of cheese, such as Mexican blend cheese, for added flavor.
