My Favorite King Ranch Chicken:





1陆 hours 40 min prep


6-8 servings





6-8 chicken breasts


salt %26amp; pepper


1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup


1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup


1 small onion, diced


1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained


1 (8 ounce) jar Cheez Whiz


1 (11 ounce) bag cheesy plain Doritos or other corn chips, crushed


8 ounces grated cheddar cheese


4 ounces grated mozzarella cheese


paprika, to garnish





1. Steam or boil the chicken breasts until cooked through (I use my steamer and find it makes the chicken perfectly moist and tender).


2. When cool, dice into bite-size pieces.


3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix the soups, onion, Ro-tel tomatoes and Cheez Whiz until blended.


4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.


5. Layer the bottom of a greased 9x12 casserole dish with crushed chips.


6. Next, layer half the chicken pieces.


7. Top with half the sauce.


8. Sprinkle with half the cheddar cheese.


9. Repeat the layers, but top with the Cheddar and Mozzarella.


10. Sprinkle paprika over the top to garnish.


11. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Here's my simple recipe:





ROTEL ';KING RANCH CHICKEN';


1/4 cup margarine (or butter)


1 med. green bell pepper, chopped


1 med. onion, chopped


1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup


1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream of chicken soup (I vary this recipe,


by using 2 cans of the cream of chicken, versus using the mushroom


soup)


1 can (10 oz.) Extra Hot or Milder Ro-tel


2 cups cubed cooked chicken


12 corn tortillas, torn into bite-sized pieces (I end up using more


than this, about 18)


2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese





In a large saucepan, cook pepper and onion in melted margarine, until


tender-about 5 min. Add soup (s), Rotel and chicken, stirring until


well blended. In a 13x9x2-inch baking pan, alternately layer tortillas,


soup mixture and then cheese, repeating for 3 layers, ending with cheese.


Bake 40 min. or until hot and bubbling. Serves 8
