How To Make king ranch chicken (sallye)
-
1Boil chicken with salt and pepper for approximately 30 minutes until done completely. Remove chicken from pan and set on cutting board to cool.
-
2Cut chicken into bite size pieces or shred. I usually shred mine in the food processor. It's quicker and only takes a couple of pulses to get it shredded.
-
3Peel and quarter onion and place in food processor. Cut pepper into quarters and remove core, membrane and seeds. Place in food processor with onions. Pulse 3-5 times until onion and bell pepper are coarsely chopped.
-
4Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add green peppers and onions and cook for approximately 5 minutes until tender, stirring as needed to avoid burning.
-
5Add soups, ro-tel tomatoes, cumin and chili powder, and 1/2 cup stock into saucepan with pepper and onions and stir with wooden spoon until blended and smooth. Remove from heat.
-
6In 9" x 13" baking dish, arrange alternate layers beginning with tortillas, then chicken, then soup mixture and cheese until all products are used up (ending with cheese topping).
-
7Bake at 375º for 40 minutes. You can turn heat up to 425º for the last ten minutes if you want cheese topping to be really crusty.
