King Ranch Chicken (recipes)

Serves 6

3 Tbsp. butter

2 large cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp. chili powder

3 Tbsp. flour

¾ cup chicken broth

¾ cup buttermilk

salt & pepper, to taste

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

½ large green bell pepper, chopped

10 oz. can Ro-Tel tomatoes & chilies

1 cup finely chopped mushrooms

2 Tbsp. chopped pimientos

3-4 cups cooked, diced chicken (light or dark meat)

1/3 cup sliced green olives

1/3 cup green onions, chopped

8 corn tortillas

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 Baking dish or a 3-quart casserole.

Sauce:

Melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and chili powder, sauté for a few minutes. Raise the heat to medium. Quickly sprinkle in the flour and stir. Add ½ of the chicken broth, stirring constantly to remove lumps. Gradually add the rest of the chicken broth and the buttermilk and stir until sauce is thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sauce may be prepared in advance and refrigerated.

Filling:

Melt olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, green pepper, Ro-Tel tomatoes and chilies, mushrooms and pimientos until onion is transparent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Fold in the chicken, olives and green onions. Remove from heat.

Assemble:

Place the tortillas in the filling mixture one at a time until softened (few seconds). Cover the bottom of the serving dish with 4 of the softened tortillas. Layer the remaining ingredients in the following order:

½ chicken/vegetable mixture

½ grated cheese

½ sauce

remaining 4 softened tortillas

rest of chicken/vegetable mixture

rest of grated cheese

rest of sauce

Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees F until casserole is heated through and bubbly.
