King Ranch Chicken Casserole
- 6 medium button mushrooms sliced
- 3 stalks of celery sliced
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10 3/4 oz)
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar or fiesta mix cheese
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 can Rotel brand tomatoes (10 oz, other tomatoes with chilies may be substituted)
- 6 to 8 corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 clove garlic mined (small or to taste)
- 1 chicken thigh & leg quarter
- Prep is 20 minutes, but you'll need 40 minutes to an hour for baking.
- Place the chicken into a sauce pan with enough water to cover it.
- Salt & pepper the water well.
- I like to add some garlic or onion too.
- Bring to a boil & cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Set aside & let the chicken cool.
- Retain liquid in a bowl.
- When the chicken has cooled shred the meat off of the bone.
- Discard bones & skin.
- In a frying pan saute the celery, mushrooms, & garlic in the butter until tender & fragrant.
- This can be done while the chicken cooks.
- Transfer the sauteed vegetables to a mixing bowl.
- Add the condensed soup undiluted, chicken, Rotel tomatoes, & red pepper flakes (optional).
- Fold the ingredients together.
- Prepare an 8x8 pan or similar baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 350F Fahrenheit.
- Dip each corn tortilla into the broth reserved from the chicken.
- Then make a single layer in the pan.
- (As you would for lasagna) Then place 1/2 of the chicken mixture onto the tortillas, spread evenly.
- Repeat steps for another layer of tortillas & mixture.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Then remove foil, sprinkle with cheese & continue to bake for 20 to 30 more minutes or untli center is hot.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
