I discovered Ree Drummond on one of those baking contest shows on Food Network. I learned she is author of the Pioneer Woman cookbooks. I love them becuase they have so many pictures! 😃 Her King Ranch Chicken is one of my favorites. It makes a huge amount so it's great for a crowd. I made it anyway for just the two of us and froze the rest in portions.
If you like Mexican food this casserole is one you should definitely try. I would disagree, however, that a 9x13 dish is large enough. You could consider either lessening the ingredients or putting it in a 10x14 dish instead. I used a deep 9x13 aluminum pan this time and didn't use all the sauce. I always saute the veggies because who has the time to finely dice anything, plus they taste better that way. Here's a hint about preparing the chicken: I buy a rotisserie chicken from Sam's or Walmart and put up bags of 2 cups each in the freezer. Then I pull out however much I need for all kinds of recipes.
I also think it might be a better meal to add black beans in the casserole but they're also great as a side. If you don't have 45 min you can increase the heat to 475 and bake for 30 minutes. I sprinkle more cheese and cilantro on the top when I bring it out of the oven. You can also garnish with sour cream and avocado.
Enjoy!
