Mexican Chicken Casserole

54 Comments

Cooked chicken mixed with condensed soup, Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chilies, layered with tortilla pieces, topped with a full 8 oz. of cheese and baked in the oven.

Paula Dean has this recipe in her recipe book The Lady & Sons. I bought her recipe book when we visited Savannah a few years back. It was delicious, spicy because of the Ro-Tel and it disappeared fast!
