I love king ranch chicken but hubs doesn’t like corn tortillas, so here is my settle and it’s a truly delicious creation! This is freezer friendly and I always keep a couple on hand for quick meals. Serve with a side salad or grilled veggies and it’s dinner time!

Ingredients and Variations

Ingredients: Lasagna noodles, chicken, poblano peppers, onions, rotel, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salsa powder, cheddar cheese, salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

Variations: You can use the usual corn tortillas instead of lasagna noodles. Change out the chicken for turkey, beef or pork. Use your favorite cheeses and the “cream of” soups you have on hand or make a homemade cream soup.
