- 1 can of Rotel tomatoes
- 1 can of undiluted cream of chicken soup
- 1 bag of your favorite potato chips (halved)
- 4 cups of shredded cheese
Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your casserole will bake evenly to golden perfection.
-
Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and diced onions to the skillet, cooking until the chicken is just cooked through. Once done, set aside.
-
Prepare Soup Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the undiluted cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and Rotel tomatoes. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and flavors are combined.
-
Layer Casserole: In a large oven-safe casserole dish, crush half of the bag of potato chips and spread them evenly across the bottom of the dish to form the first layer.
-
Add Chicken and Onions: Layer half of the cooked chicken and onions over the crushed chips, evenly distributing them across the dish.
-
Pour Soup Mixture: Pour half of the prepared soup mixture over the layer of chicken and onions, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese over the layer of soup mixture, creating a deliciously cheesy blanket over the casserole.
-
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of crushed chips, followed by the remaining chicken and onions, soup mixture, and shredded cheese.
-
Bake: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the Chicken and Chip Casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
