This recipe for Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole is just perfection.

First of all, I love making dishes using rotisserie chicken from the store, because c’mon…..we all know it’s delicious! Plus it makes for a quick and easy dinner.

This recipe doesn’t require too many ingredients either, so that makes it a winner right there.

You have the option of adding sliced avocados, green onions or fresh cilantro to it as well!

You will start out by spreading 1/4  cup of the salsa verde on the bottom of a greased 8 inch square pan.

Then combine the chicken, sour cream, and the remaining 3/4 cup salsa in a small bowl.
