Are you looking for a quick and easy dinner for two that hits all the right delicious notes? Look no further. This BBQ Chicken Casserole is the perfect weeknight dinner for two. It is savory and sweet. It has proteins and vegetables and is completely satisfying.
The key to being quick and easy is using a rotisserie chicken from your local supermarket. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest inventions there has ever been. Rotisserie chicken has been a staple in my kitchen since my child was in middle school and schedules became so busy. It allowed me to have “semi” homecooked meals and keep up with school events. In addition to the rotisserie chicken, canned black beans and frozen corn also make this meal so simple to stir together.
For this dish, I used a sweet BBQ Sauce to create a sweet and savory flavor. I do love a good sweet and savory dish. However, you could also use a spicy BBQ Sauce that would fit right in with this recipe. The spicy BBQ Sauce would give the BBQ Chicken Casserole a bit more of a Tex-Mex flare and pairs well with the black beans, corn, and cilantro. I think I may try this recipe again with the spicy BBQ.
