Baked Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
1 small bag of taco/nacho Doritos
1 small chicken, cooked and shredded
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup (if you don't like mushroom, use 2 chicken soups)
1 Cup chicken broth
1 can green chilies
shredded cheese
#1) Spray a 9 x 13 pan. And preheat oven to 350.
#2) Crush chips and spread in the bottom of the pan.
#3) Spread shredded chicken over chips.
#4) Spread chilies over the chicken.
#5) Combine soups and broth in a bowl. Mix together. Pour over the chicken and chilies in the pan.
#6) Sprinkle cheese (desired amount) evenly over the soup mixture.
#7) Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
TWEAKS...I did not have Doritos. I used regular tortilla chips. I also did not crush them; I just layered them in the bottom of the pan. I also used 2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded instead of a whole chicken. You can also use 2 cans of canned chicken breast. When combining the soups and broth, I added about a 1/4 cup taco seasoning (making up for not having Doritos). Add more or less depending on your families "spicy" taste.
Additional note--I also double the recipe and make 2 layers in the pan (like a lasagna). I have never had it this way, but I am POSITIVE that you can use cooked ground beef in place of the chicken and make a Beef Enchilada Casserole instead.
I served this with nice huge healthy salads and corn. Dale chose to use his casserole as a dip for additional tortilla chips. Either way, it was SOOO GOOD!

Johnny Carino's Bow Tie Festival
I got this recipe from a friend when a group of us was putting together a birthday dinner last week for our Church's Relief Society (ladies). She shared it on her blog so I decided to share it on my blog too :) I also stole the picture from her blog since I didn't have one.
Here is what you need:
- 4 chicken breasts (For my family, I would use 1 large or 2 or 3 small ones)
- 1 Jar 4 cheese Alfredo Sauce
- 1 Can cream of chicken
- 1 Can chicken broth
- 1 package Real bacon pieces (a small package)
- 1 package fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 1/2 package dry Italian Dressing Mix (we used a whole one)
- 1 Cup Swiss cheese, cubed (I think shredded would work too)
- 2 Tbs butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
Combine everything in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. Shred chicken an hour before finished. Serve over cooked bow tie pasta.
We served ours with salads and french bread. It was DELICIOUS!

Mountain of Rocks
The picture is not the greatest, unfortunately. However, the brown frosting did have "peaks" like mountains.
