Taco Chicken
This is a recipe my mom got when I was in High School. It was one of our family favorites, and we begged for it often. As easy as it is, I’m making it one of our regular menu items, too.
Boil 1 chicken – Remove meat and bone – Save broth (I’ve used 4 chicken breasts before)
1 stick margarine
1 chopped onion (I use 1 Tbsp minced onion)
1 can rotel-style tomatoes with green chiles, drained & mashed
1 can cream of chicken soup (I use 2 cans cream of chicken – we don’t like mushroom)
1 can cream of mushroom
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 bag taco-flavored chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9×13 pan with non-fat cooking spray.
Melt butter and saute onion until softened. Add tomatoes, soups, and 1 cup reserved chicken broth. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Lightly crush tortilla chips in bag. Layer enough chips in bottom of 9×13 pan to cover. Top with chicken, followed by soup mixture. Sprinkle with remaining chips and 1 cup cheese.
Bake uncovered 30 minutes.
