Taco Chicken - Family Favorite

(This awesome recipe has been featured at a couple of linky parties=)

If you like a little zip to your meals, this is a wonderful dish to try.

My favorite ethnic dishes are Mexican.

I can't count the times I've seen friends who haven't crossed my path for some time...years even...and they'd tell me they're having my recipe for taco chicken for dinner, or they had recently enjoyed it. It has simply become laughable!

This is a popular dish and a great one to serve company too!

One of my friends told me she made this recipe -- (from my cookbook) - took it to share with her son and wife, and the 4 of them cleaned up this dishful of 'YUM' - a 9" X 13 panfull!

The crumbs on top and bottom are taco chips - I love that it can be made up a day ahead too.

Try it, I'm guessing you'll think it's 'muy bien'...

TACO CHICKEN  

3 - 4 lb. chicken

1 onion, chopped

1 stick margarine

1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes (with green chilies),

drained & mashed

1 (10-3/4 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

1 (10-3/4 oz) can cream of chicken soup

1 cup grated cheese

1 (7 oz) bag taco (or nacho) chips - {Doritos}

Boil or bake chicken; remove meat from bones; save 1 cup broth. Preheat oven to 350. In large skillet, saute onion in margarine. Add tomatoes, soups & broth. Heat and cook until thickened. Break 1/2 the chips into the bottom of a greased 9" X 13" X 2" pan, covering the bottom. Layer chicken over chips, then pour soup mixture over the top. Sprinkle remaining chips over chicken, then sprinkle with cheese. Bake 30 minutes or until bubbly around the edges.

Leftovers are great too - if there are any.
