Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken Mix:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, sour cream, and your favorite salsa. Mix them thoroughly until well combined.
Layering:
- In a large oven-safe pot, begin the layering process. Start with a layer of the chicken mix, followed by a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and then a layer of tortilla chips. Repeat this process for a second layer.
Baking Method:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the lid on the pot and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted to perfection.
Alternative Stove Top Method:
- Alternatively, if you prefer to cook on the stove top, you can follow the same layering process in a large skillet or pot. Cook over low to medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, remove from the oven or stove top and let it cool slightly.
- Serve your delicious Chicken in the Chips hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or avocado slices.
