King Ranch Chicken

July 14, 2015 By denise Leave a Comment

I have another great comfort food dish for you today. So I shared my Chicken and Dressing that I made over the Fourth of July weekend. Because I used rotisserie chicken, I had some leftover to use since I made a small batch of the dish. Rotisserie chicken is so inexpensive and can be used for so many different dishes. I like grabbing one to make several meals and freeze some of the leftovers.

I have been wanting to make King Ranch Chicken Casserole for a while and finally made it over the same weekend. I recently saw one of my favorite places to eat in Georgetown, Texas on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The owner of Monument Cafe was making King Ranch Chicken and I quickly started jotting down some of the ingredients he used so I could try and recreate it. This is a mash up of that and a traditional recipe. It’s got the perfect amount of spice in it and is so flavorful.

So go ahead and grab a rotisserie chicken the next time you want to stock up on some comfort dishes to feed your family or freeze for the future.

And don’t mind the ugly photos – it’s not a photogenic dish but darn is it good!
