How to Make Original King Ranch Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook chicken: Boil or bake 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through (about 20-25 minutes). Shred the chicken.
- Sauté vegetables: In a large skillet, sauté 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 2 bell peppers (1 green, 1 red, chopped) in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Layer casserole: Spread half of the chicken mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with 1 1/2 cups corn tortillas, cut into strips. Spread remaining chicken mixture over the tortillas.
- Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. If desired, sprinkle with extra cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Rest: Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set up slightly and makes it easier to serve.
