Next time, and I will be making it again, I will remember to have more liquid
This recipe was so easy to prepare and the super delicious flavor you get is just awesome! I love it , my family loves it too. Thanks, Dolores Harris
So easy to make and very tasty.
I crush my chips then add chicken broth until I get to the consistency of a Thanksgiving dressing. I also saute all of my veggies and csometimes and some celery, then mix all together in a large bowl, then put into casserole pan and top with cheese
For those who are hesitant to use tortilla chips or want to substitute flour or corn tortillas instead, I would urge you to try it with the tortilla chips first. You might be surprised, as I was, to find that the chips do not stay crispy and form a wonderful sort or cornbread mush (a little like the outside of a tamale) that combines perfectly with the other ingredients, especially if you add a little chicken broth before cooking.
Delicious, my only modification was to mis the soups and half of the cheese together first.
I cooked it as listed, I don’t like to rate a recipe that I change everything and then not give it a 5 star. As is there were to many chips, it was very dry. I’ll change it up a little and then re-rate.
I followed directions to a T. I don’t think if anything changed you should review a recipe. I thought the recipe was rather dry. It needs something else. It was alright as far as taste goes but i will not use this recipe again.
I used my favorite jar of hot sauce instead of the canned tomatoes and onions and used a mix of white cheddar and pepper jack cheeses. Huge success.
Made it as recipe stated only used Taco blend cheese. Husband loved it. Will make it again!
This recipe was easy to follow. It had great flavor too. I did not have Cream of Mushroom Soup, so I used 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom & Chicken AND 1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup. Very tasty.
Made this with the Mexican Cornbread as suggested and put it over rice. The chips were probably unnecessary and the chicken could’ve been mixed with the soup mixture to simplify, with cheese on top.
I added a can of pinto beans to the soup/Rotel mixture and a middle chips layer and I will add sour cream and guacamole on top!
First time making KRC with tortilla chips instead of soft corn tortillas. They still got soft but felt like they had more “oomph” than the soft ones (the soft ones essentially totally dissolve into the rest of the ingredients). Tasty.
I went right by the recipe except I added a bit of chicken broth (from the boiled chicken) … perhaps about a cup. I will make this again… I made King Ranch Chicken many years ago, and forgot how good it is. This recipe is much easier than the one I used to use. I might add a few jalapenos to give it more heat.
I used Campbell’s Golden Mushroom Soup because that’s what I had on hand. I also substituted the other can of soup with sour cream. Delicious!
Delicious! I made some Man-Pleasing Chicken in the CrockPot and it didn’t turn out well. So I shredded my thighs from the other recipe and put in this. It turned out great! I will make this again!
I decided to use some suggestions made regarding this recipe. I did use corn chips on the bottom and instead of cream of mushroom soup I did use white queso blanco dip. It turned out great. There is one other thing that should be changed, the dish was not hot enough. Next time I would cook it at least 325 for 1/2 an hour.
this is not really King Ranch Chicken. It’s a quick short cut to something similar to it, but not as comforting as the classic. The biggest diff. is the use of chips instead of tortillas. They take on a weird texture and do not satisfy. Leftovers were gross instead of tastier. Not impressed with this shortcut.
Easy to make, I used shredded chicken I bought from my local grocery H-E-B. And I cooked it 40 minutes as it wasn’t done at 20. I put final layer of cheese at 30 minutes and cooked it 10 more minutes till cheese was all melted. Not spicy, but good safe dish to make for Kids and adults alike. Add salsa if you want a little kick. Would make again!
Great taste and easy to make. I found it to be a little dry. Next time I’ll add some more liquid. I also added a can of drained pinto beans which was a good addition since we like our beans. I will make this again!
