A True Texan's King Ranch Chicken
RECIPE BY: Tropical Texan
The quintessential Texan feel-good comfort casserole. From a friend who used to own a well-known catering business in Humble, Texas. This is the best! You can make this LOW-CARB by substituting R.W. Garcia Low-Carb Tortilla Chips (or other kind) for the Tostitos.

Ingredients
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350*F.2
Take 1/2 the bag of chips and layer them on the bottom of a greased 13" x 9" x 2" casserole dish. Then place shredded chicken atop the layer of chips. Layer half of the cheese on top of the chicken.3
In a separate bowl, prepare sauce. Combine salsa, sour cream, cream of chicken, evaporated milk (or heavy cream), and olives and mix well. Pour over casserole, then add the remaining cheese on top. Cook for 1 hour, or until the top is brown and bubbly. Check it when there is about 15 minutes left--you may want to cover with foil for remainder of cook time.

Rich, creamy and crunchy served with Mexican Yellow Rice and Black Beans with guacamole on the side, everyone hoped there would be enough left for lunch the next day! Thank you.

Excellent recipe. I love the way the tortilla chips give a strong corn flavor. The kids gobbled this up. And I found it easy. Only thing I did different was to make my own cream of chicken by creating a rue with homemade chicken stock. Yum.

Made this for some neighbors who were kind enough to let me retain a serving for myself, just before they devoured the rest of it themselves! This is a VERY TASTY chicken dish, & this is one recipe for which I was fortunate to have all ingredients on hand! From the raves & the requests (from neighbors) for 5 copies of the recipe, I'd say this rates, at the minimum, 5 stars! Definitely a recipe to keep on makin'!
