    Does this really call for 12 cups of tortilla chips? I did half that and my pan was overflowing with the layers. Plus the tortilla chips were dry. If I were to do it again I would use even less. Other than that, it was great- I doubled the recipe- my husband loved it and I brought one to a friend with newborn twins.

    I made this dish before (albeit with a few minor changes to account for ingredients I didn't have and it was DELICIOUS!!!! OMG! I couldn't get enough of it! I also made some for a church potluck (lol and it was a fantastic success!
    As a side note to those who commented about soggy chips....maybe they need to be soaked more. Mine were the consistency of like tamales. They didn't read a soggy when I ate, it seemed right. I love all of your ideas and alterations to the recipe though. I will be making this forever to try them all out

    Decent meal, but a lot of work for the flavor. It takes several hours to complete the meal. Very cheesy! I plan to serve over brown rice with a side of salsa.

    OK, I love king ranch chicken. I can't see why you would want to sog out perfectly great chips before cooking. I used corn tortillas. Other than that I made exactly as recipe. Served with mexican rice and black beans and avocado. Great meal. Took awhile to make. Next time I will omit the mushrooms. Didn't like with mexican food. Will use black beans instead. I also used rotel tomatoes instead of chilis and tomatoes seperately. Nice and spicy! Will make again with substitutions.

    1 Poaching the chicken IS worth it -- tender meat, great flavor & the cooking liquid provides the yummy béchamel. Where I live, it's cheaper to buy a whole chicken than 2 breasts, so I poach an entire chicken (adding extra flavorings by simmering 45min & sitting in liquid for 1 hr. I use all the meat. Poach the day before.
    2 I skip the tortillas as others had issues with texture/ salt from the chips. Instead I add a can of rinsed black beans.
    4 I cook the onion/ bell pepper /jalapeño together in a large pan. Gently cooking them gets the flavors melding /improves the texture. When I'm done sautéing them, I put them in a bowl to the side and use the same big pan for doing the mushrooms/ béchamel sauce (don't wash.
    5 I cut the cheese in half to no ill effect. Healthier casserole, balanced flavors.
    To sum, my layers are: black beans, chicken, cooked onions/bell peppers/ jalapenos, ¼ of cheese from recipe, seasoning, mushroom/ béchamel sauce, tomatos/chilis, ¼ of cheese.

    This tastes just like a more complex and healthy version of a king ranch chicken casserole. Delicious and it will definitely be a repeat for my household!

    My fiance and I definitely enjoyed this recipe! Thankfully he was there to help me with all the chopping because there is a lot! But it definitely is well worth it in the end. I love casseroles because of the amount you have leftover! I was afraid of the 2 jalapenos but followed and it wasn't bad. My fiance added more hot sauce to his plate. Definitely a keeper :

    For those who gave this recipe less than five stars, you did something wrong!!! This was absolutely delicious, everyone had seconds. After reading the remarks about the soggy tortilla chips, I decided to put them on top, cover them with cheese and then bake. It came out sooooo good. It was a crispy, cheesy top with a delicious chicken filling. Will definitely be making again!
