Adding sour cream gives this the flavor I feel is missing--also to ensure the tortillas are soft, I did mixture then tortillas, then mixture, then tortillas, then mixture with cheese on top. Can also layer cheese on top of each mixture layer. I also used Rotel.

I've made something similar to this for years. Here in Texas we call it Chicken Sopa. My version has corn tortillas instead of flour & Rotel Tomatoes instead of plain. I also add a medium sized chopped onion in with the soup. I mix the chicken in with the soup & tomato mixture. Put a thin layer in the bottom of your baking dish and top with corn tortillas that have been cut or torn into triangles. Then add another layer of the soup/chicken mixture and top with a layer of cheese. Continue layering. Your top layer should be cheese.

I make your recipes almost nightly, this one however was not a crowd pleaser. Sorry Paula. It was good but not great.

How many layers is this supposed to be total? And is the cheese only on top, not in the layers? Thank you!!!!!

By Amy on April 12, 2012

I am going to try this tonight...just wondering, how many layers is this supposed to be? I know it said to start and end with the tortillas, but I wasn't sure? And it the cheese only supposed to go on top and not in the layers? I'm going to add taco seasoning and rotel to spice it up a bit. Thanks!

I made this the other night, except I used 1 can cream of chicken, 1 can cheddar cheese soup, 1 can fiesta nacho cheese soup. a can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies. Added a package of Chicken taco seasoning to the soup mixture. Put shredded mexican cheese between each layer. Topped it off with Pace Picante salsa and last layer of cheese. It was amazing. Thanks Paula for the start of a great dish.

I would add Rotel AND chopped green chilis...in fact,check out the recipe for King Ranch Chicken for seasoning ideas.

I tried this recipe last night and it was great BUT not as is. I used two cans of cheddar soup and one can of cream of chicken (left out the mushroom). I used mild Rotel tomatoes instead of plain AND I added about a teaspoon or so of chicken taco flavoring (I added it until it tasted right for me). I also did 3 layers with Mexican 4 blend cheese (torillas, chicken mixture, cheese) I ended with tortillas and just added cheese to the top. Only problem was the top layer had to be cut with a knife. It was not soft enough. The tortillas inside were all soft. Very good! And the chicken mixture would make a good dip! I do recommend making some edits and not cook as is.

Enjoy you very much Paula. My daughter looks a lot like you .you and I are close to the same age. I believe I am 3 years older. But we were both taught by our mamas and grandmas how to cook. Can't learn what we learned in a fancy cooking school, right? I also have 2 sons. They are both diabetic and really have to watch their sugar and carbs. That gene skipped me but I would rather have it if they could have been spared.

I added taco seasoning, sautéed onions & garlic. Then served with Tapatío hot sauce & sour cream. This dish is amazing! My family gobbled it up:D

I agree with the others needing to add other ingredients to it. It's definately bland, I expected more.... I think I'd add cream cheese instead of cream of chicken soup and definately extra spices.

My family loves this. It's so easy to make.

I read the other comments and made some changes to the recipe. I added a cup of salsa, crushed red pepper, cumin, garlic and pepper. The dish turned out really yummy with all the flavors and I would definitely make it again.

By Mandi on February 07, 2012

It was OK but bland. I ended up adding spices like cumin,garlic, onion and pepper and then topped with salsa and sour cream when i served it. No extra salt was needed probably because of the canned soups. But my 4 year old granddaughter liked it so that says something!

By Joe Schultzeyahoo.com on February 02, 2012

a cup or so of salsa to spice it up!

By Savanah on January 31, 2012

I have to agree that this dish needed just a bit "more" of something. So, I did use an extra can of rotel, layered with sharp cheddar, seasoned my chicked with seasoned salt and pepper, added onions and parm cheese while cooking my chicken prior to the oven bake. Overall, great dish and the hubby was happy. You can never go wrong with cheese. =) Thanks.

My house LOVES this dish!!! It is a staple in my dinner menu. I have two young kids (VERY picky-eaters!) and they clean their plates every time I serve Mexcian Chicken. It is easy, makes great leftovers, budget-friendly, and I usually have all the ingredients in the pantry anyway. I do use Rotel tomatoes and I make guacomole to compliment it. Thanks, Paula!
