Dinnertime: "Mexican" Chicken

Y'all I cannot even explain how hilarious this recipe title is to me. This comes from a Southern cookbook called "Carolina Sunshine" that my aunt gave me when Matt and I got married over seven years ago. The cookbook is chock full of purely southern recipes, but it also has casseroles like this in the book - I guess this recipe is what a traditional Southern woman calls "Mexican". Ha!

I'll call it "The most unhealthy and tasty chicken casserole ever!"

Ingredients

2 1/2 - 3 pounds chicken, cooked

1 cup skim milk

1 can cream of chicken soup (condensed)

1 can Rotel (tomatoes and chilies)

1 4 oz can chopped  chilies

1/2 large bag Doritos (regular kind)

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese

Pre-heat your oven to 350. Chop up your chicken, set aside. Drain your chilies and drain about 1/2 the juice from the Rotel. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, soup, chilies and Rotel. Stir well.

In a 9 x 13 baking dish, spray with cooking spray, then cover the bottom in Doritos. Using the palm of your hand (wash your hands ladies!), crush the chips so it makes a thick layer.

Put the chicken on top.

Then pour the soup mixture till everything is covered.

Top with your cheese and bake 30 minutes. You can add a few extra Doritos when you dish it out. Yum!

Enjoy! Serves 4.
