Description

King Ranch Chicken is a creamy, cheesy, layered chicken enchilada casserole and Tex-Mex comfort food.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel (diced tomatoes with green chile peppers)
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 3 cups cooked, diced chicken breast meat
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325.
  2. Add olive oil to a medium skillet. Add onions and bell peppers and cook down until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened onions and peppers, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, chicken broth, un-drained Ro-Tel, chili powder, and garlic salt.
  4. Spray a 9×13 (2 qt) casserole dish with non-stick spray.
  5. Layer 1/2 the tortillas, 1/2 the chicken, 1/2 the soup and veggie mixture, 1/2 the cheese, then repeat layering with remaining tortillas, chicken, soup, and cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until brown and bubbling.
  7. Serve topped with sour cream and cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken goes great in this dish!
  • If you can’t find Ro-Tel, you can use a can of regular diced tomatoes and a 4-ounce can of diced green chiles.
  • Gluten-free: The condensed soups are not gluten-free. Use my gluten-free substitute for “cream of” soupsto make this gluten-free.
