A True Texan's King Ranch Chicken image

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F.
  • 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.
  • 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.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. It still turned out great! The sauce was creamy and flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This is one of my favorite comfort food recipes. It's so easy to make and always comes out delicious. I love serving it with mashed potatoes and green beans.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice. Next time I'll add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
