Frugal Recipes: Budget Friendly King Ranch Chicken
Budget Friendly King Ranch Chicken Recipe
Guest Post by Cheryl Siens
Although I’ve known about King Ranch Chicken my whole life, I had never eaten it until about 2 years ago when my daughter came home from a mission trip raving about one of the dishes they ate. She is my picky eater who doesn’t like anything, so I thought I better jump on this one! I called the lady who made the dish for the kids (actually, I cornered her at a marriage conference, but that’s another story) and got the recipe from her. Now I’m making this frugal, delicious casserole at least once a month.
KING RANCH CHICKENIngredients:
1 Cooked chicken (or 3-4 cooked chicken breasts) Corn tortillas 2 cans cream of chicken 1 can cream of celery 2 cans Ro-Tel tomatoes Shredded cheese Corn tortillasDirections:
Cut chicken into bite size pieces Mix soups and Ro-Tel tomatoes together (don’t dilute soups, but use all the juice from tomatoes) Spray 9×13 pan with cooking spray Put about ½ cup of soup mixture in the bottom of dish. Tear tortillas into 4-5 pieces and layer in bottom-on top of soup mix. Top with soup mix, enough to cover tortillas Next layer is chicken, then cheese. Repeat tortillas, soup, chicken & cheese until all used up. At this point you can freeze or refrigerate. Bake at 350˚ for 30 to 45 minutes or until it bubbles throughout.
