How to Make Street Corn Chicken Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, corn, diced tomatoes, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, feta cheese, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Top the casserole with crushed tortilla chips, distributing them evenly over the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges.
Substitutions & Additions
If you’re looking to switch things up a bit, here are some fun ideas:
- Swap out the chicken for shredded beef or turkey for a different flavor profile.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier twist.
- Try adding black beans or jalapeños for extra texture and heat.
Tips for Success
- Be sure to drain the corn well to avoid a watery casserole.
- If you want to prep ahead, you can assemble the casserole and store it in the fridge for a day before baking.
- Keep an eye on the tortilla chips; if they start to brown too much, cover the dish with foil.
