Mexican Chicken Casserole

So, I've been slacking a little in the recipe picture taking.  Chris's softball game got cancelled due to the weather so I took advantage of being able to get out of the house and do a little home decor shopping.  Cravings for foods from the weekly menu caused us to eat them in a different order than previously planned.  So, today we are just getting to our Mexican Chicken Casserole.  My friend, Carly, is wanting the recipe so I wanted to get it posted for her.

I PROMISE I STARTED OUT TAKING PICTURES!

I got the chicken broth and green chilies boiling, and the onions diced.

Then Breanna woke up and all heck broke loose.

I'm not even kidding.

She's a HIGH MAINTENANCE kid.

I started the day already wore out, and that her tantrum just added to my exhaustion.  *sigh*

One of these days I'll be back to 'normal'...whatever that is!

Anyways,  I didn't get the step-by-step pictures taken.

My house sure smells good though.
