Ingredients

3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
12 corn tortillas, cut into quarters
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed onions and peppers, Rotel, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
Spread a layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom of your greased baking dish. Add a layer of corn tortilla quarters on top, followed by a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is golden brown.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your King Ranch Chicken Casserole with a side of your favorite salad or cornbread!
