    Creamy Mexican Chicken & Rice Casserole, This casserole is a favorite of everyone who has it. Every time I ask, “What would you like for dinner/your birthday/major event?” I am always surprised that the request is this simple casserole. My mother-in-law made this for my husband when he was a kid and it is still his favorite, and now my family requests it as well., I have been making a similar casserole for years…I put the tortilla chips in a large casserole..I put the soups, chicken broth I make my own with slow cooked chicken, carrots, celery, and better than bullion chicken stock base and rotel tomatoes in a fairly large pot..add one large sweet yellow onion chopped in large pieces a pound of velvetta cubed, a teaspoon of chili powder and a teaspoon fo garlic powder..heat untill cheese melts stirring so it wont burn..put chicken pieces around on top of chips and pour soup mixture over chips and chicken…bake at 350 degrees. until bubbly.add a bit of shreaded cheddar the last ten minutes.. I serve the mexican rice on the side., I’ve made this recipe twice now. The first time I didn’t really like it, it was too spicy and I messed up the rice so it was hard to chew bad, I know. I just made it again tonight and it turned out great! I spread the cooked rice on the bottom of a 13×9” pan, then added the chicken and soup mix over it. I added velveeta and just a little shredded sharp cheddar cheese over top, I then baked it at 350 for 30 minutes, added the doritos and baked 5 minutes more. My husband and I added a tiny bit of sour cream each and that was it! So good.
