Mexican Chicken

Recipe #296276 | 1 hour | 5 min prep | add private note

This has been my absolute favorite dish since i was a kid. I used to beg my mom to make it, and when she did, there were never any leftovers. Beware though, it's one of those dishes where you wanna stuff as much down as you can, and before you know it, youre immobile for the next 2 hours! Dont even contemplate another meal tonight. This one's to die for.

SERVES 4 , 1 casserole (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook the chicken in broth or water in a frying pan until done. Shred and set aside.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, add Cream of Chicken, Cream of Mushroom, Rotel Tomatoes, and can of milk. Wisk until fairly smooth.
  3. 3
    Crumble Dorritos while still in the bag.
  4. 4
    In a buttered casserole dish, place a layer of the soup mix (don't use all of it).
  5. 5
    Next add a layer of the crumbled dorritos.
  6. 6
    Then add a layer of the chicken.
  7. 7
    Repeat layers until all gone.
  8. 8
    Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake in 375 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
  9. 9
    Remove from oven and remove the foil. Sprinkle a generous amount of the mild cheddar cheese over the top and return to oven, uncovered, and bake until the cheese is hot, melted, and bubbly. Let stand 2-3 minutes and then enjoy!

This was great! I forgot to cover it so the top layer of chicken got all crispy but the rest was just fine. I removed the crispy chicken before I topped it with the cheese. I substituted blue corn tortilla chips for the Dorritos to make it slightly healthier and it turned out great. I also used one of the whole chickens already cooked from the grocery store which saved a lot of time. Great recipe! It was very tasty, inexpensive, and fairly low in calories.
