CHILI CHICKEN= COMFORT FOOD

What is your idea of comfort food? Is it the food that you eat when you are sad? Or happy? Or when you want to stir up happy memories of your childhood?

Or all of the above?

I love this recipe of Chlil Chicken...my Mom used to make it for us when I was a kid in the seventies. She could not cook! She was PROUD OF THAT! And I loved this recipe...

Here goes with the recipe...

RUTH’S CHILI CHICKEN
4 CHICKEN BREASTS, BOILED THEN SHREDDED
1 CAN OF CHILI NO BEANS
2 CAN OF CREAM MUSHROOM SOUP
(OR YOU CAN USE 1 CAN OF CREAM OF CHICKEN W 1 CAN CREAM MUSHROOM)
1 SM CAN DICED JALAPENOS
1-2 CUPS OF CHEDDAR CHESSE SHREDDED
OPTIONAL: DICED ONIONS ( I DON’T LIKE THEM RAW AND THEY DON’T FULLY COOK IN THE CASSEROLE SO I LEAVE EM OUT!)
MIX ALL THE ABOVE TOGETHER
THEN YOU NEED:
ABOUT 6-8 FLOUR TORTILLAS
AND THEN
TAKE A CAKE PAN, CASSEROLE SIZE 13X 9
SPREAD SOME OF THE MIXTURE ON BOTTOM
LAYER WITH ABT 2 TORTILLAS- YOU HAVE TO HALF THE TORTILLAS SO THEY DON’T OVERLAP TOO MUCH,
LAYER W MIXTURE
LAYER TORTILLAS
UNTIL DONE – THIS IS USUALLY 3 LAYERS
ITS FUN TO PUSH DOWN THE TORTILLAS AND MIXTURE TO TRY AND GET THE MOST LAYERS BUT YOU NEED TO END UP WITH A LAYER OF CHICKEN MIXTURE THEN ADD
ABT 1 CUP CHEDDAR CHEESE ( I USUALLY ADD LIKE 2 CUPS)
AND IF YOU LIKE ‘EM
DICED BLK OLIVES
BAKE 350-375 UNTIL CHEESE IS BUBBLY AND SLIGHT BROWN
SERVE OVER STEAMED WHITE RICE-
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!

so short today...but this one was worth at least a little post
