Notes
- I recommend cooking the pasta al dente since it will be baking.
- Make sure to dice or shred the chicken into small pieces so that it's easier to eat.
- If you don't like beans, feel free to omit them.
- If you don't have a can of Rotel, you can substitute with a cup of your favorite chunky salsa.
- I would consider this a mild dish. If you want it extra spicy, you can add in 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a can of diced jalapenos.
