King Ranch Chicken - My version at least.

Well, it's not exactly "King Ranch Chicken" like they serve in lots of restaurants, but it's close to it, and its definitely comfort food.

1 - 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can of rotel (choose your hotness)
1/2c milk or water (milk will yeild a higher fat and yummyness)
S & P to your liking
1/2 bag of tortilla chips (or more, depending on how much crunch you want)
1 1/2 cups cheddar or mexican blend shredded cheese

Preheat your oven to 325
Boil, bake, pan fry - heat your chicken until its fully cooked!
Fill the bottom of a 13x9 pan with tortilla chips (crushed or not, whatever)
Pull/shred/slice/dice the chicken (remove any fat or otherwise yuckyness - I pull mine because I like the consistancy
In a large bowl combine your chicken, 3 canned items, chicken, milk, and salk and pepper.
Pour over the tortilla chips.
Cover with cheese and bake for approx 40 min. 

If you're worried about your cheese getting too brown, cover with foil for the first 20 min.






Disclaimer: 
If you need it in about 30m, use canned chicken and bake 350 for 30m.
I use 98% fat free cream soups because I can't stand the thought of full fat soups... do what you want!
No pictures this time, I made it last night :)

i was born to cook.
