Chicken Taco Casserole

Cook's Note:  This is a Weight Watchers friendly recipe that I found on Pinterest. It was easy to make and delightfully tasty. I would compare it to Loaded Nachos! And who doesn't love that? I suggest you give it a try... its yummy! I have changed the recipe only slightly to fit my tastes. According to the original recipe poster Slap Dash Mom, this is only 7 points plus per serving. Serves 6. 

What You Will Need: 

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 packet taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water mixed together
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup whole grain tortilla chips, crushed and divided
1 cup shredded Mexican Shredded cheese
1 cup salsa
1 can black beans, drained

Non-fat or low-fat sour cream for topping

Directions: 

Pre-cook chicken breasts in a skillet with 1 packet of taco seasoning and water (about 4 minutes each side). Add onion and bell pepper to chicken mixture and saute. Once cooked completely, shred chicken and set this mixture aside. 

Pre-Heat Oven to 350 degrees. 

In a large glass casserole dish, line bottom of dish with half of the tortilla chips (you are going to layer this like a lasagna). Add 1/2 of chicken mixture, next layer 1/2 of the beans, 1/2 of the salsa, and 1/2 of  the cheese. Now create the layer mixture again: Chips, Chicken mixture, beans, salsa and top with remaining cheese. 

Bake for about 20 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream for a delicious dinner.
