               KING RANCH CHICKEN

  1 chicken (3# or more) (I generally use a hen)
  4 cans mushroom soup
  2 cans rotel tomatoes
  2 cups grated cheddar cheese
 12 oz tortilla chips or 12 corn tortillas torn in 2 inch pieces
     (the corn tortillas make it more moist)

 1. Put chicken in a pot with enough water to cover, salt if desired,
    cover and simmer until well done.  Remove and cool.  Shred the meat.

 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 3. In a large bowl, mix soup and rotel

 4. In a buttered 9x13 baking dish, layer 1/3 of the chips (tortillas),
    1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 of the cheese, and 1/3 of the soup mix.
    Repeat layers.

 5. Bake 1 hour.

    Can be served with sliced black olive, chopped tomato, and shredded
    lettuce.
