King Ranch Chicken

Spicy, but not so much that the kids don't eat it.

1/4c margarine
1 medium bell pepper chopped
1 medium onion chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cans rotel
2 large chicken breasts
12 corn tortillas cut into strips
2c shredded jack cheese

1) Place chicken breasts in medium pot with 1 can rotel and 1can water(enough to cover chicken) and boil until chicken is cooked. Drain liquid, but don't try to get out the rotel pieces, just shred the chicken and leave it all mixed up together.

2)Preheat oven to 325. I like to let my 9x13 heat in the oven with a pat of butter to grease the dish.

3)Cook pepper and onion in butter until tender; add soups, 2nd can of rotel, and chicken mixture. Blend well, and heat through.

4)In 9x13 baking dish, layer half the tortilla strips, half the mixture, and half the cheese, repeat.

5)Bake 30-40 minutes until hot and bubbly.

I like to serve this with some simple black beans, and sometimes a salad.
