Tonight's Supper ...

was courtesy of Mrs. A from Charmin's Thoughts, www.charminsthoughts.blogspot.com She suggested serving her famous King Ranch Chicken.
Since I've been feeling a little "uninspired" in the kitchen lately, I've decided that I will cook whatever meal(s) is/are suggested to me through this "Menu Idea Invitation". I am really hoping that you guys will suggest something for tomorrow evening - otherwise my family may go to bed hungry! ... hee! hee!
I do have Mrs. A's King Ranch Chicken recipe, however, I did not have all the ingredients for her "secret" family recipe on hand. So, I will provide you, my dear readers, with the version I prepared this evening. It was served with a spinach, pineapple and Mandarin orange salad.
King Ranch Chicken
2 c. cooked chicken, shredded
3 Roma tomatoes, cored
1 4oz. can diced green chilies
2 oz. sour cream
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
6 corn tortillas, cut into strips
Using a food processor, chop and combine tomatoes and green chilies. Transfer to a medium bowl, add shredded chicken, reconstituted cream soup, sour cream, and 1/2 c. shredded cheese; mix well. In a greased 8 x 8 baking pan spread a small amount of chicken mixture. Top with a layer of corn tortilla pieces. Repeat layers of chicken mixture and corn tortillas ending with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes or until hot, bubbly and cheese begins to brown.
Serves 6
Thank you Mrs. A! My family and our home school group enjoyed supper and went to bed with full bellies this evening.

  1. You are very welcome. I sure wish you would have used my recipe. At least everyone was full to the brim. One thing I can say about you for sure is that you can make anything out of ANYTHING!!! (sourcream?????)

    I love you BFF!

  2. My family also wishes I'd had all the ingredients on hand to prepare YOUR recipe too. They always tell me how much better your King Ranch Chicken is.
    Yes, I added sourcream (to enrich the flavor of the cheese and add a little more creaminess to the casserole), ... my goal this week is to use only what I have on hand so improvisation may turn out to be very important skill.

    Love you too,
    Mrs.B
