TEXAS LASAGNA (KING RANCH CHICKEN CASSEROLE)



Texas Lasagna (King Ranch Chicken Casserole) image

This recipe has been in my family since I was a kid, and I'm a senior citizen now. For years I made it with cheddar cheese, now I make it with cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Colby, and boy, what a difference!

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 3x4 inch squares, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 -4 lbs chicken
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
4 celery ribs, finely chopped, about 1 cup
1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 (15 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 lb shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 lb shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 lb shredded colby, cheese1
2 teaspoons mild new mexico chile powder or 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
15 -20 regular size corn tortillas
1/2 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Boil the chicken with 1/2 cup onion and the salt and pepper until meat falls off the bones (about 1 hour), save the chicken stock for use later. Let the chicken cool, then slice the into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Mix 1/2 cup of the chicken stock with all the other remaining ingredients except the cheese and tortillas.
  • Mix the three cheeses together.
  • Dip tortillas into remaining reserved chicken stock and put a double layer of tortillas in two 8 inch x 8 inch pans (I use two 2 quart Pyrex glass ones), a layer of the soup, vegetables and chicken mixture, a layer of 1/3 of the cheese, then repeat these layers two more times.
  • Cover with tinfoil and bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour.
  • Let the dish set for 10 minutes before serving. This recipe results in a mildly hot dish. If you would like it hotter, increase the three peppers, or just serve with a jar of ground cayenne pepper, so each person can adjust the heat as they like.
