Chicken Tamale Casserole

Life has been rather busy for me in the past few months, and at times like these, I do less experimenting in the kitchen and stick with old standbys instead that are quick and easy.

A few weeks ago I had a particularly busy weekend and didn't have much time to make food for the week like I normally do.  So I skimmed my recipe collection for something super easy and quick, and came upon this Mexican-inspired dish that I have enjoyed before.  It requires very little preparation, and for the chicken I just get a whole rotisserie chicken at the grocery store, rip out the skin and the bones, as well as the legs for other use (typically immediate consumption :P), and the remaining meat is just about the right amount as specified in the recipe.

I have a feeling I'll be making this a regular rotation in the next few busy months!
