Cinco De Mayo Casserole by Indulge image

A great mexican dish for any occasion. Use whatever level of salsa your tongue can handle. I first learned how to make this when I was about 14 so anyone can do it and it always tastes phenominal!

  • Place half the chicken in a 9x13 in baking pan.
  • Spoon half the jar of salsa over the chicken.
