Chicken Rotel
Chicken Rotel is a very easy casserole dish that is both easy and delicious. For those who especially love rotel dip(Velveeta and Rotel tomatoes) will enjoy Chicken Rotel. It’s just a few ingredients. More can be added to give if desired. My college roommate used to make this, so I make it from memory.
You will need -
Cooked chicken(boiled, broiled, pre-cooked, doesn’t really matter)
Velveeta cheese
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 bag of Doritos tortilla chips
Cook and cut up the chicken into 1 inch - or bite-sized chunks. Lay the chicken in a casserole dish and cover with a layer of Doritos. You can crush the Doritos or mix them together with the chicken. Once you have about an equal ratio of chips to chicken, cut up the Velveeta cheese and cover the top with chunks of Velveeta. Next pour the can of Rotel on top of the cheese.
Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. If you really like cheese, then add more. You could also add vegetables like corn to make the casserole more tasty and interesting. Substitute chicken for meat for an interesting creation, too. Or even try soft tortillas for a different taste as well.
Chicken Rotel is very easy and is made easier if you buy pre-cooked chicken. I usually just buy the chicken breast and cook them. If you buy the chicken pre-cooked, be sure to select some that is not seasoned or is seasoned with something that will go with the Rotel/Mexican taste of the casserole.
So if you need a quick recipe for supper or a casserole to take to a get-together, chicken Rotel is a good choice.
