MEXICAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE
Chicken casserole with a Mexican twist. This casserole can be served as a main dish or an only dish. Leftovers are great. Very similar to Ro-tel® chicken. Tortillas can be substituted for Doritos® or corn tortillas, but flour tortillas seem to work best.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Boil chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken breasts to a cutting board to cool. Reserve and cool chicken broth.
- Shred the cooled chicken breasts and put into a large bowl; add cheese cubes, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, cream of chicken soup, and cream of mushroom soup and stir.
- Individually dip about half the tortillas into the cooled liquid from poaching the chicken; arrange into the bottom of a large baking dish.
- Spread the chicken mixture over the tortillas.
- Individually dip the remaining tortillas into the water and arrange atop the chicken mixture. Sprinkle chili powder over the tortillas.
- Bake in preheated oven until the top layer of tortillas begin to turn golden brown and crunchy, 30 to 45 minutes.

[email protected]Just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was too thin. I think it needed some more thickening agent, like cornstarch or flour.

[email protected]Not a fan. The flavors were bland and the chicken was dry. I think it needed more spices and a longer cooking time.

[email protected]Easy to make and delicious! I used rotisserie chicken to save time but found that the casserole needed a bit more seasoning. Next time, I'll add some chili powder and cumin to the sauce. Overall, it's a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight mea
