I ate this delicious Mexican dish in 1992, and it's been a family favorite ever since.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This very simple chicken casserole is an easy family meal. Corn chips absorb the chicken broth and creamed soup while baking and taste like corn tortillas. This has a mild Tex-Mex flavor thanks to the diced green chiles. Using a whole chicken makes the casserole hearty. We used the remaining broth from boiling the chicken, so there was little waste.
