Aba’s chicken tortilla casserole

 Recipe: you need:

1. Cream of Broccoli 

2. Cream of mushroom 

3. Cream of celery

4. Ro-Tel

5. Chicken (preferably chicken breast) it’s easier to shred.

6. Shredded cheese. Your choice.

Cook the chicken until really tender. You should be able to shred easily. 

Put it aside.

Save some of the broth in case you need it.

In a pot mix all the cans content. ( you prepare as much as you want) be sure you double or triple the number of cans. Always keeping the ratio. Over low heat, Add cans content one at a time, mixing all the time. Start with Ro Tel. It allows you to have a little more liquid. When that is done, add shredded chicken. Mix constantly while the mix cooks.

At this point if it’s a little too thick add some of the chicken broth. 

Arrange tortilla chips on a baking tray, covering the bottom and around the tray. Ideally you don’t want to leave any holes with no chips.

With a ladle or spoon put the chicken mix on the chips covering evenly.

Then cover everything with a layer of cheese of your choice. Bake in the oven to melt the cheese.

Ready to eat.
