A delightful and easy-to-make dish that combines tender chicken with vibrant Mexican flavors, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the diced onion until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned.
Cut the chicken into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and stir until evenly coated.
This step helps thicken the sauce later.
Mix in the green chilies, taco seasoning, sour cream, black beans, and corn. Stir until combined and heated through.
Adjust seasoning to taste before transferring to the baking dish.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread the mixture evenly for consistent baking.
Combine half of the shredded cheese with the crushed tortilla chips and sprinkle over the top.
Use freshly grated cheese for better melting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
Check the dish halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake for an additional 10 minutes until melted.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Chicken Fiesta Bake!
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
