Sonora Chicken

This family pleaser is definitely not your ordinary chicken casserole. I started making this years ago and still get requests for it.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 2

Place chicken in a baking dish. Cover and bake for 1 hour in preheated oven. Remove chicken from dish and allow to cool. Remove meat from bone and tear into small pieces.

Step: 3

Meanwhile, mix the cream of mushroom soup, the cream of chicken soup, chili, picante sauce, milk, onion, cumin, and garlic powder in a large bowl.

Step: 4

Spread half the shredded chicken into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover the chicken with half of the tortilla pieces. Pour half of the sauce on top of the tortillas; sprinkle half the Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the dish. Repeat the layers with the rest of the ingredients.

Step: 5

Bake in preheated oven until all the cheese has melted and sauce mixture is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes.

Because it comes to dinner , overeating or eating too much of the wrong kinds of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a daylight food that is less than satiating can leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to bedtime .
