Mexican Chicken


Years ago, we discovered a recipe that was a family favorite.  However, it contains three cans of condensed cream of chicken soup and one of celery soup.  Needless to day, I have not made it in many, many years.


Yesterday I made the recipe, and used homemade soups, organic chicken, and organic tortilla chips (which were made with non-gmo oils, believe it or not).  It took a few days to make my soups ahead of time, but it was worth it. 

Here is the recipe.  

Again, I substituted the "cans" of soup with homemade.


Mexican Chicken
3 lbs. chicken, cooked, and shredded or diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 pkg. taco seasoning* or homemade
3 cans condensed cream of chicken soup, or homemade
1 can condensed cream of celery soup, or homemade
1 med. pkg. tortilla chips
1 small can green chilies, chopped
*Optional:  sour cream 

Brown diced onion in olive oil over low heat.  What onion is browing, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl, crushing the tortilla chips into it.  Add browned onions.  Stir. Pour into 9 x 13  inch baking dish (I prepared my dish with a bit of olive oil).  Sprinkle cheese on top.  Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until cheese melts and bubbles.

Note:  I do not use the packaged taco mix.  I make mine from scratch and I used that in my recipe. For a "medium pkg." of tortilla chips, I estimate about a 10-12 oz. bag of chips when using 3 "cans" of cream of chicken soup.  Otherwise, if you use more, the recipe will turn out dry.

Our brother is extremely sensitive to MSG. I have two recipes that use canned soup (one with tomato and one with cream of mushroom), and we've found that Healthy Choice and Campbell's Healthy Request canned soups don't have it, so I can use them, but even then, I compare the salt/sodium content of them both to see which has less because canned soups are terrible at having too much of that too.

God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
