Need something quick, easy and on the table in no time at all? Then this Southwest Chicken Tortilla Bake is calling your name. 

There are times that I just don’t want to be in the kitchen. Especially if I’ve been in the kitchen all day testing out new recipes and have loads of dishes that need to be done. I can’t tell you how many times the hubby comes home from work and asks whats for dinner.

This is me: “Uhh, I forgot that I still needed to make dinner. Babe, can we go out?” He’s amazing (of course, that’s why I married him) and says, “Whatever you want honey. You know I’m not picky.”

The other day I was shopping at Wal-Mart and I saw these Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast. I thought, “Yes! I can have dinner ready within minutes using these babies.” These Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken breasts are packed with great protein, fully-cooked, 98% fat free and have no preservatives. I was sold. And guess what? They taste delicious!!

Something you might not know about me, is I hate working with meats. I don’t know why, I just do. I also hate boiling chicken because the flavor never comes out right for me. These ready made Tyson Grilled Chicken Breasts have amazing flavor and tastes great! Plus it’s a time saver!

While scanning the freezer section, I also saw that Birds Eye Vegetables have a new protein line of vegetables. Packed with a delicious blend of whole grains, black beans, corn, lentils, red bell peppers, and sauce.

My head was spinning in all sort of directions on how I could use both of these together in a quick, easy and of course delicious meal. I love the meals you can throw everything in one bowl, spread it out into a baking dish, top with shredded cheese and bake. They also always warm up really well the next day.

It’s like an easy meal dream come true. I decided on a casserole because if you look around my site, you’ll notice I have a thing for casseroles. They’re just easy and the mess is always minimal. In  my opinion you can never mess up with a casserole. I feel like I’m always serving a gourmet meal.

I took three of the Tyson chicken breasts and let them thaw for about 20 minutes, then diced them into pieces. I might have popped a few pieces into my mouth while chopping. They were that good. I threw the chicken, the vegetables, some diced chiles and a few other ingredients into a large bowl.

Then threw some tortillas into a baking dish and started laying the chicken mixture with the tortillas and cheese. Bake it so the cheese melts, then wha-la you got your self a Southwest Chicken Tortilla Bake. Quick, simple, easy and delicious! Warms up really well for leftovers too. What more could you ask for?
