This crock pot King Ranch chicken is a cheesy, Tex-Mex casserole that’s easy to make and perfect for busy weeknights. It’s full of comforting flavors that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Mixture:

  • 4 cups cooked chicken, chopped
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 21.5 ounces Cream of Onion soup (two 10.75 ounce cans)
  • 10 ounces Ro-Tel tomatoes & chiles
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

For Layering:

  • 12 6″ corn tortillas, sliced into 1” pieces

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, onion, green pepper, Cream of Onion soup, Ro-Tel, chili powder, garlic, and Cheddar cheese.
  2. Slice the corn tortillas into 1″ pieces.
  3. Layer one third of the tortilla pieces, followed by one third of the chicken mixture, in the slow cooker. Repeat layers twice. Top with additional cheese, if desired.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 3.5 hours.
  5. After 3.5 hours, remove the lid and cook an additional 30 minutes for oven-baked flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Prepare this slow cooker recipe ahead by prepping it the night before.
  • Always use non-stick spray or a liner to prevent sticking and burning.
  • If you prefer less cheese, you can skip the top layer.
  • Grate fresh cheese for better melting, rather than using pre-shredded.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking by choosing mild or original Rotel, adjusting chili powder, or adding cayenne for more heat.
