I believe I ordered this recipe collection
booklet from the Sunday ad inserts
many many years ago.
It's pages are wrinkled and yellowed
from use but, it is almost like a
treasured heirloom.
I will never part with it!
So many interesting and delicious recipes!
My very favorite is,
Chicken In The Chips.
I have been making this recipe for 25 years now!
My sons grew up on it
and it's one of Mr. B's favorites.
It is probably one of the best comfort foods
in my recipe arsenal.
Chicken, cheese, Fritos...
what is not to love about it?
Oh did I forget to mention that it's
quick?
It's quick!
It's a casserole you can make ahead and pop in the oven for
a fast and satisfying dinner.
a fast and satisfying dinner.
Most, if not all, of the ingredients are probably
sitting in your pantry right now!
Here's the rundown:
2 to 2 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken (or, leftover Thanksgiving turkey)
1 - 10 1/2 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup picante sauce (Pace Hot really is the best!)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese
2 cups coarsely crushed Fritos (no need to go crazy here, keep the pieces recognizable)
Combine everything, saving some of the cheese and Fritos for the top.
Mix well.
Spoon the mixture into a lightly sprayed 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with the saved cheese and Fritos.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees, for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
And enjoy!
This truly is a hearty, family-pleasing casserole!
I hope you give it a try and
that it becomes a favorite of your family!

Sounds good Kathe. We like chicken casseroles or hotdishes if you are talking Minnesotan! I see your messy room was featured at Meet Me Monday! If I am stumped for a post, I can show some of my messes too!
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely Kathe! but I have to ask - what are fritos? Some kind of chip I assume...
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to a Round Tuit!

Yes, Fritos are corn chips (http://www.fritolay.com/our-snacks/fritos-original-corn-chips.html), but if you don't have them where you live, you can use any sort of corn tortilla chips ;) I made mine with Doritos, and it was delish!
DeleteYou said the magic words, 'chicken,fritos and cheese'!!! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious Kathe-thanks for sharing!!!
