Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Mixture

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, shredded chicken, and corn until everything is well coated.

  3. Add chopped green onions and optional cotija/feta cheese for extra flavor.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

  1. Pour the chicken and corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

  2. Sprinkle the topping cheese evenly over the mixture for a golden, bubbly finish.

  3. Optional: Garnish with extra cotija/feta cheese for presentation.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

  2. For extra browning, switch to broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.

  • Serve hot as a main dish or as a side with rice, tortillas, or a green salad.
