Ingredients
  

For the Casserole:
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (fat-free)
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1 cup salsa (sugar-free)
  • 3 cups chicken (cooked, shredded)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (reduced-fat, shredded)

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: If you haven’t already cooked your chicken, boil, bake, or grill it until fully cooked. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, skim milk, and salsa. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
  4. Step 4: To the yogurt mixture, add the shredded chicken, frozen corn, and diced red bell pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: In your greased baking dish, lay down 4 corn tortillas. Spread half of the chicken mixture over them, then sprinkle with a third of the cheddar cheese. Repeat with another 4 tortillas, the remaining chicken mixture, and another third of the cheese.
  6. Step 6: Finish with the last 4 corn tortillas on top. Spread any remaining yogurt mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Step 7: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Step 8: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
