Mexican Chicken Bake

This recipe was full of deliciousness, my whole family enjoyed it. It is fairly quick and easy to make-I found the original recipe over on Six Sisters Stuff, they called theirs Texas Ranch Chicken. For my recipe I just tweaked it a bit and made it my own.
 Only thing is the chicken I boil, season and shred my own chicken so that does take a bit of time. But, you could easily prep the chicken before hand or just do what I do. It's worth it, because the flavor is so much better when you boil it and season the chicken.

What You Need:

• 1 onion, diced
• 1 green pepper, diced (opt.)
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (season w/ garlic powder, salt/pepper ect)
• 1 can cream of celery soup
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 can Rotel, undrained
• 1 Tablespoon chili powder
• 12 Flour tortillas, cut into 1-inch long strips
• 2 cups shredded Cheese (Colby/ Monterrey)

 

Directions:

 

1. Preheat oven to 350-400 degrees

 

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onion, peppers in oil until tender. Add garlic and saute for a few more minutes. Stir in chicken, soups, Rotel, and chili powder

 

3. Line your baking pan with half of the tortilla strips. Top with half of the chicken mixture and 1 cup of cheese, then Repeat layers

 

4. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
