Are you looking for a cozy family dinner? The Joanna Gaines King Ranch Chicken Casserole Recipe is perfect.
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk or Large Spoon
- Chef's knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Cooked Chicken Shredded
- 12 Corn Tortillas Cut Into Pieces
- 1 Can Cream Of Mushroom Soup
- 1 Can Cream Of Chicken Soup
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 Can Ro-tel Tomatoes And Green Chiles
- 2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Green Bell Pepper Diced
- 1 Yellow Onion Diced
- 1/2 Tsp Chili Powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit first. Grease your large baking dish with some non-stick spray. This prevents the tortillas from sticking to the bottom.
- Mix the soups, sour cream, and chiles together. Use your large bowl for this creamy sauce. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and combined.
- Cut your corn tortillas into small, bite-sized pieces. Line the bottom of the dish with half of them. This creates the first layer of your hearty casserole.
- Spread half of the shredded chicken over the tortillas. Add half of the chopped peppers and onions now. Pour half of the creamy sauce over these ingredients.
- Repeat the layers one more time with remaining items. Finish by sprinkling the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Ensure the cheese covers the entire surface evenly.
- Place the dish into the hot oven carefully. Bake the casserole for about thirty to forty minutes. The cheese should be bubbly and slightly brown.
Notes
- Use a rotisserie chicken to save prep time today.
- Hand-grate your cheese for a much better melt.
- Do not skip the green chiles for best flavor.
- Let the casserole rest before you start slicing it.
- Use corn tortillas instead of flour for better texture.
- Add extra cheese if you want a gooey top.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking starts.
- Chop vegetables into small pieces for even bites.
