Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
• cooking spray
• 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa verde

• 1.25 pounds chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Add cannellini beans, salsa verde, diced tomatoes with chile peppers, taco seasoning, cumin, and garlic powder; stir to combine. Spread in the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the casserole reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over top. Recover with foil and let rest until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
