King Ranch Chicken by
I like to make this with Mission tostada shells. I also add some corn and maybe another veggie - have used chopped spiralized zucchini and liked that.
Note: use MILD Ro-tel. Seriously. The other varieties are too spicy for us.
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup corn (optional)
1-2 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts
1 (10-ounce) can fat-free cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 (10-ounce) can fat-free cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 (10-ounce) can Ro-Tel mild diced tomatos, drained
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
6-8 Mission tostadas, broken up
Shredded cheddar-jack Tillamook cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Add olive oil to warm skillet. Sautee onion and bell pepper over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until tender.
2. Stir in chicken, soups, Ro-Tel, and spices; remove from heat.
3. Layer one-third tostada pieces in bottom of a casserole dish or glass pie plate coated with cooking spray. Top with half chicken mixture and half cheese. Repeat layers once.
4. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
Leftovers can be frozen for up to 1 month, if desired. Thaw in refrigerator overnight, and bake as directed.
