Nina Wood says: The month of May - like many other months, I guess - is a pretty busy one around our house. Running around to see the grandchildren play ball games, tending to cattle and other business as well as regular chores around the farm make for a full day. If we’re lucky, we might get a chance to go fishing now and then.
I am sure many of you can relate to this hectic time of year, a time of year when the weather is just right for doing just about everything outdoors. But regardless of how busy our schedules may be, nothing can make up for the value of a good home-cooked meal shared with family and friends.
This recipe comes from my granddaughter-in-law and is especially good. The best part about it is that it takes relatively few ingredients, doesn’t take long to make and still tastes like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen. Perfect for get-togethers and church socials or an evening when the kids’ T-ball games run late, this gives your family a chance to sit at the table and enjoy a hot meal together.
4 boneless chicken breasts Doritos chips 1 small block Velveeta cheese 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can Rotel 1 cup chicken broth
Boil the chicken breasts until cooked through. Set aside one cup of the broth. Cube the chicken and lay in the bottom of a greased 9x13 dish. Crush a layer of Doritos over the chicken. Slice the block of Velveeta cheese into 11 or 12 even slices. Lay them over the Doritos, leaving cracks. Mix the Rotel, both soups and the broth. Pour this mixture over the cheese. Cover and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
