This recipe for Chicken Chile Casserole has a little heat to it along with biscuits, chicken, corn and cheese. These ingredients are mixed in a sauce of cream of chicken soup, cream cheese and milk. Lastly, spices are added in for extra flavor.
I used a rotisserie chicken I bought at the grocery store, I grab one of these if I need a quick meal. The chicken is so moist and has so much flavor. If you’ve never tried this trick before, please do, you will find it to be a life saver.
Here is the casserole before going into the oven.

I’m confused as to why you called this “Chile”…My husband is from there and I lived there and this doesn’t resemble any dishes that are fixed there?
Kay says
Chile refers to the green chile’s that are in the recipe, not to the region it came from. Thank you for commenting.

I make this same recipe but omit the biscuits put the ingredients in a round casserole dish and bake for 35 mind at 350 and when it’s done serve it with tortilla chips
Kay says
That sounds like a wonderful twist on this recipe, I definitely will be trying that. I love anything with tortilla chips!
Linda says
What do you do with the 1 and 1/2 cups, queso, pepper jack cheese or Mexican blend? Put it on the top before baking? Or later?
Kay says
I apologize my directions were not complete. I have updated the recipe to include adding the milk and topping the casserole with the cheese.
Linda says
And you don’t explain what to do with the milk…I am making this right now…hope to love it!
