Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a medium size baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat about a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Toss the chicken in the taco seasoning and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly browned on each side.
In a large bowl, combine the queso, chilies, cheese, and half-and-half until well blended.
Pour a small amount of the queso mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, just enough to cover the bottom.
Layer with the chicken. Then pour the rest of the queso mixture of the top of the chicken.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Uncover and bake for 15 minutes longer, or until the juice from the chicken is clear.
Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes, and green onions. I had some crumbled bacon, so I tossed that on top of the chicken, too.
We like to serve this chicken casserole over white rice. Enjoy!
