This dish is in regular rotation here at our home. It's one of those quick and easy meals, and I almost always have all the ingredients for it.
After you cook your chicken, shred it and put it in a bowl with: 1 can Cream of Celery soup, 1 can Cream of Chicken soup, 1 can Rotel, 1 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp. chile powder, and a small onion that has been sauteed in butter. Mix all that together.
Then, crush up some tortilla chips. (I just crunch them in the bag after I open one corner of the bag to let the air out.) Spread a layer of the crushed chips into the bottom of a 9x 13 dish. Then, spread you on a layer of the chicken mixture. Follow with a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat layers once. Top it with the last of the chips and another sprinkling of cheese. Bake at 350 degrees till hot and bubbly!
Grab a fork, and y'all come eat!
I make something similar called King Ranch Chicken, but this sounds lots easier and quicker!! Yummmmm!

Is this dish too spicy for Amelia? If not, why isn't there a picture of her eating it? She could at least hold the empty plate!!!!!

Looks yummy!!! Unfortunatly I wouldn't be able to make it for my husband unless I left out the cream of celery, rotel, and onion!!! And that is what provides all the flavor! Ugh! He is so picky! :)

I make something similar but with hamburger meat minus the celery soup & rotel. But your recipe sounds good. Your "about me" pic is too cute! xoxo, Joanna

This looks so yummy! My problem is that I have never heard of Rotel!!! What is it and where in the grocery store do you find it - and is it healthy???? I looks forward to knowing what this mystery ingredient is ....

Hi Katie! I'm so glad you stopped by my blog because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to come over and read yours. First of all, you make me laugh, second that Amelia is a doll, and third I think I am going to learn some decorating tips from you. I LOVE your style! I will definitely be back to check on you. Your blanket comment on my blog today made me laugh because I have told my husband so many times "Don't touch the brown," (usually the blankets in hotels are brown). That cracked me up!

Mmmmmmmm...That sounds yummy and I know my hubby would love it. I'm going to have to give it a try.

I like your style! I have a southern man to keep happy and this recipe looks like a winner. I didn't know what Rotel was until I met him.
