King Ranch Chicken (King Ranch- Kingsville, Texas) image

This is not the original recipe in that it has more modern ingredients (i.e. canned condensed soup as opposed to the scratch recipes) but the flavor is a bullseye to the original dish served in Kingsville, Texas. My thanks to Juanita for sharing.
