King Ranch Casserole

I've always heard of King Ranch Chicken, but I don't think I've ever had it. So We'll be trying this recipe this week.

One chicken, cooked, deboned and cut into bite size pieces
Corn tortillas
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can Rotel tomatoes with onions and chilis
Grated cheese, several cups

Preheat oven to 350. Cook and debone chicken, reserving broth.

Mix soups, Rotel and chicken in a bowl.

Have a 9x13 inch pan ready, soften tortillas one at a time in broth and layer the bottom of your dish coming up on the sides a bit.

Add a layer of soup/chicken mixture and cover with cheese.

Repeat with tortillas, soup/chicken mixture and cheese until soup/chicken is used. I usually get three layers. Cover with foil and and bake about 30 minutes.

This last bit is not necessary but it is festive and adds crunchy texture. After the casserole is baked off, add heaping of corn tortilla CHIPS and top with cheese, put back into oven to melt cheese and serve hot.
