Tonight's Dinner - King Ranch Chicken Casserole

I promised Sam that once finals were over I would start cooking dinners.  Last Thursday night I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn, and sauteed green beans.  Tonight I made King Ranch Chicken Casserole.  I forgot to take a picture of it before we ate it, but I found this one online that looks similar to mine.


It's really not that hard to make.  Cook chicken - I used four chicken breasts that I cut up in small pieces and just cooked real quick in a pan on the stove.  You can also just cook a whole chicken and then cut that up if you want some dark meat in it too.  Then saute a chopped up onion and chopped up bell pepper in a pan with butter.  Then add a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of cream and chicken soup.  Then add a can of diced tomatoes.  Add the chicken.  Add a teaspoon of chili powder and half a teaspoon of garlic powder.  Then soak 12 six inch corn tortillas (each cut in four pieces) in some chicken broth.  In your casserole pan, layer some of the soaked tortillas along the bottom of the pan.  Then, pour some of your chicken mixture, then pour cheddar cheese, then repeat with tortialls, chicken mixture, and cheese.  I only had room to do it twice but if your pan is deeper, then you can layer a third time.  Then bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes and you have dinner.  Enjoy!
