Ingredients:
- 6 chicken breasts
- 1 package of corn tortillas
- 1 can of black olives
- 1 jar of green chili salsa
- 1 block of sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
Instructions:
-
In a buttered casserole dish, begin by forming layers of chicken, torn pieces of tortilla (uncooked), black olives, green chili salsa, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
-
Save some cheese and olives for the top layer to add a burst of flavor and texture.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups of milk with the cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups until well combined and smooth.
-
Pour the milk and soup mixture evenly over the layers in the casserole dish, ensuring that the mixture seeps into all the nooks and crannies.
-
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and bake the Viva La Chicken casserole uncovered for approximately 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt into gooey perfection.
-
Keep an eye on the casserole during baking, and if the top layer starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil to prevent over-browning while the chicken cooks through.
