Instructions
Cook the vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until soft and fragrant. Stir often to avoid burning. Add garlic and cook for one more minute.
Prepare the creamy mixture
- Add cream of chicken soup, mushroom soup and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Mix everything well. Add chili powder, paprika, salt and black pepper. Stir until smooth and heated through.
Add the chicken
- Put shredded chicken into the skillet. Mix it with the creamy sauce. Make sure every piece is coated well. Let it cook for a few minutes so flavors blend nicely.
Layer the casserole
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish. Add a layer of tortilla pieces at the bottom. Spread some chicken mixture over it. Sprinkle cheese on top. Repeat layers.
Bake the dish
- Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The cheese should melt and bubble. The top will look golden and slightly crispy.
Rest and serve
- Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps it set properly. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Pioneer Woman King Ranch Chicken.
