To make this Spicy Chicken and Bean Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake the Spicy Chicken and Bean Casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
