I've been making this for years - it's a family favorite.

Ingredients of Original King Ranch Chicken
* 1 can cream of chicken soup
* 1 can cream of mushroom soup
* 1 can Rotel tomatoes w/ peppers
* 1/2 cup onion chopped
* 1/2 cup green pepper chopped
* 1 cup+ chicken broth
* 1 pkg. grated Monterey jack cheese
* 1 chicken, boiled and de-boned
* 12 corn tortillas --or--
* 1 pkg. tortilla chips --or--
* noodles

Preparation of Original King Ranch Chicken
Boil chicken, remove meat from skin and bones.

Sometimes I will use 6-8 chicken breasts instead of whole chicken when I'm in a hurry.

Saute onions and green pepper.

Mix with soups, tomatoes, cubed chicken, and chicken broth.

Line bottom of Pyrex casserole with six tortillas.

Add 1/2 of chicken/soup mixture; spread over tortillas. Sprinkle grated cheese over mixture.

Then make another layer of six tortillas, chicken/soup mixture, and cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 250-300 F 1 hour until cheese

is bubbly.

Please note that you can make this recipe much lower in fat by using the fat free soups and fat free chicken broth. It turns out just as tasty.

I've also substituted Cheddar Cheese, as well as Lite Velveeta in place of the Monterey Jack cheese and it was all good.
