Instructions Checklist
- Step 1
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking pan.

- Step 3
- Mix salsa, sour cream, and jalapenos together in a bowl and pour over the chicken.
- Step 4
- Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until cheese melts, about 5 minutes more.
- Step 5
- Let casserole cool before cutting into pieces and garnishing with green onions.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use rotisserie chicken to save cooking time.
Monterey Jack cheese can be substituted for the Cheddar cheese. Feel free to use green chiles in place of jalapenos. Either green or red salsa will work in this recipe.
