Reviews
Just a tiney bit too spices but overall very good
I made this to use up some leftover rotisserie chicken. I would’ve been better off using it in soup. I love spicy food but my gut told me that two cans of chopped chilies was too much and I was right. Way too spicy. This is a small 8 in.² baking dish; it only needs one can. Needed some sour cream to cut back some of the heat. I wouldn’t make this again.
This was a big hit, even for people who “don’t like casseroles”. I would use a little less chili powder next time, as the flavor seemed really strong. Maybe a little more cumin to balance the flavors better? Great weeknight dish.
YUMMMM!!!, but I am “one of those” who had to modify because of ingredients on hand (not because I’m chef-ier than you : – used a pound of ground beef (browned with the onion) – had only one can of diced chiles (didn’t miss the other can at all) – added an extra egg to account for the extra meat.
Yes it was very good
Perfect! I added 1 can of black beans with the chicken, and I didn’t have pork rinds so used crushed up tortilla chips. Will make this again!!
Quick to put together, and very tasty! I increased the amount of pork rinds and reduced the milk the second time I made it, and liked it better that way.
I made this for my brother and his wife who is suffering from seven fractured vertebrae and she called raving about it! I am eating Keto and thought it was one of the best I’ve had in ages!

Deleted delicious. Didn’t use the pork. Just added mozzarella and some cheddar.
My husband loved it! He doesn’t eat Carbs so this was perfect
Really good! I used twice the chicken and more chilies. I didn’t have pork rinds so I just put more cheddar cheese on top and it made a real nice topping. I think next time I’ll use some sour cream in the chicken mixture or maybe in with the eggs mixture. And I did use heavy cream instead of milk to make it more keto friendly. This one’s a keeper!
This was easy and was very good. I added very small broccoli florets. Will definitely make again.
Was very good. I used leftover chicken thighs with cutup bacon so was a bit greasy. Cut chili powder down a bit, still has a nice kick to it. Will make again.
Wow, loved it. Served on a bed of cabbage/coleslaw, with avocado slices and sour cream then drizzled cilantro lime sauce. Recipe could be doubled for large family or potluck dinner.
Excellent. Would cut back the n red pepper flakes unless you really love heat.
