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.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
8 ounces sour cream
1 cup medium heat salsa (I use Pace)
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk or 5 ounces heavy whipping cream
1 lb shredded colby-monterey jack cheese, divided
1 (5 ounce) can sliced black olives
1 (12 ounce) bag tostitos gold yellow corn chips

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.

This was a nice tasty change in our menu, was looking for something easy but tasty and this worked perfectly! I only used 4 chicken breast as mine were large ones. Definatly something to keep in the cookbook and have again thanks!

We love chicken any which way but loose. This dish was excellent! Loved the combination of flavors with the salsa, soup and sour cream. I love Pace salsa, as it has great flavors. I might try adding in some green chilies or a jalapeno next time for a little more kick. We loved this one just the way it is though! Thanks Tropical!

Although this was an easy recipe, I just found it to be average. My mother seemed to enjoy it and went back for seconds but she was the only one. Thanks for sharing.
