The best thing about this Southwestern take on chicken pot pie is that the only tool you’ll need to make the entire recipe is a can opener. There’s no pre-cooking involved, and the Fiesta Chicken Casserole bakes in a single dish, saving you time on clean-up, too. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken. Simply stir together salsa, black beans, corn, cheese, and tender chunks of white meat chicken in a flavorful creamy sauce and top with refrigerated pie dough for the perfect golden, flaky crust. Suddenly, dinnertime feels like a celebration.

Step 1
Heat the oven to 400°F. While the oven is heating, stir the picante sauce, soup, sour cream, cheese, corn, chicken and beans in a large bowl. Spoon the chicken mixture into a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Unfold the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pie crust into a 14x10-inch rectangle. Place the pie crust over the chicken mixture and trim off any excess. Press the crust to the rim to seal. Cut several slits in the crust.
Step 3
Bake for 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Serve hot.
comfort food plus++++
I've made this recipes a lot. Its so yummy. I often use quorn which is a vegan alternative. I tried the vegan cream of chicken and its wasnt terrible but not great. I love that you just fold out the crust (I use a top and bottom), open the cans, throw in the frozen veggies, salsa, cheese and canned chicken and poof!! As a single mom, it was a godsend
Excellent!
Made it as is and was a huge success at the party. Used the leftovers as a dip with corn chips and also on bed of lettuce for a taco salad.
Very easy and leftovers are as good if not better
I made the recipe as called for except for the pie crust, which I didn't have at that time so I broke up some tortilla chips and placed them on top like another had said they had and placed them on top. I don't know if they were too crisp (over done) but it did make the casserole taste oily just under the chips. After I got the chips all off it was a really good casserole.
p.s. my husband ate leftovers and he never eats leftovers!
Simple to Make
it was very easy to make. I had a rotisserie chicken that I used. I made twice the amount that the recipe calls for and my family ate it all. Definitely will make again.
Great for casual company
This recipe with a green salad is great when having a few friends over for a casual dinner. Everyone likes it and it easily feeds 8-10 when you have a side. It's so easy and you can make a ahead of time. I use Fajita chicken in the package and that gives it a little more flavor than canned chicken.
