MEXICAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Mexican Chicken Casserole image

A really nice flavor to this dish. I did not really know what I was going to make the other day so looked in the pantry. I saw that there was a packet of Fajita mix. This was right up my alley and everything fell into place after that. its great for a cool or cold night with loads of taste and its sure not going to blow out the budget either! I served it with hot vegetables but it would be great with rice

Categories     Poultry

Time 2h

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
10 chicken thighs, skinned
1 onion, Large, Brown chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 celery ribs, chopped
1/2 cup red capsicum, chopped
2 tomatoes, Skinned and chopped
2 cups chicken stock
2 ounces fajita seasoning mix, El paso
salt
pepper
flour, plain
1 -2 tablespoon cornflour

Steps:

  • Dust Chicken with the flour - I use a plastic bag to shake my chicken in - shake off excess flour and place to one side.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet or frying pan and sear the chicken pieces, this will take a couple of goes, and place in a casserole dish.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic in the remainder of the oil gently until it looks at least half cooked.
  • Add the celery, tomatoes, capsicum stirring for a few minutes then put the fajita mix (half is usually 2 ounces - as too much makes it too hot) in with pepper and salt adding the chicken stock. Simmer for just a minute or two and spoon over the chicken,
  • Cook in a moderate oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or in the microwave on simmer for 45 minutes - thicken before serving with the corn flour mixed with a little water into a thin paste.
  • Serve either with hot vegetables or on a bed of rice.

I found this recipe in a cookbook, but changed it so much to my own liking that it no longer resembles the original. My husband and I moaned at the first taste of this. It is just as yummy reheated and you can add a few more chips to make it have that crispness again. Hope you enjoy!
