Sonora Chicken

This was really excellent!! I highly recommend NOT using flour tortillas.. unless you like the "gooey" taste at the end results. The corn tortillas were firm and full of corn flavor! Also, people should not rate a recipe BEFORE they cook and try it. I added a bit more comino. Next time, I'll add some minced bell pepper. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great recipe. I changed it a bit to make it more healthy. I replace one can of soup with boiled cauliflower & carrot (about half a large cauliflower and a few small carrots) that I then puree in a blender, along with milk and the other can of soup. My children don't even notice that the extra vegies are in there. I also tend to boil my chicken and then shred it. I just find that it's quicker that way. This recipe tastes great with a side of rice.

Great dish, I used chicken tenders instead of bone in chicken and shredded them and it turned out very good. Highly reccommend this dish!

This recipe was awesome~! My 5 year old even liked it. Very easy to make. This is deffinately a keeper!!!

Loved, loved, loved this! I used boneless, chicken breasts sprinkled w/taco seasoning & baked in a pan w/salsa & water. After shredding it, I sprinkled w/more taco seasoning. I also threw the chicken in w/the soup mixture & layered chicken/soup mix, corn tortillas(chopped), cheeses, repeat. I had 2 cans of chili beans(also called mexican bean mix or chili mix in some stores) which I used in place of the chili w/out beans. It was incredibly good! It would be fantastic in tortillas, enchilada style but we just ate it straight & some scooped it w/tortilla chips. I'll definately be making this again! Thank you!

This recipe was awesome!! The only change I made was I used "chili beans", instead of the chili with no beans and it came out so good. Also the chicken breasts I used were huge so I was actually able to make 2-9x13 dishes (one layer each). This is so good, I'm thinking of making a big tray of this for an upcoming family get together! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

This is very good. My husband loved it. I did not use the cream of mushroom and we still enjoyed it. I also halved the ingrediants- and it worked perfectly in an 8x8 dish.

My 7 & 9 yr old kids liked this. I upped the cumin to 1 tsp and used half an onion due to personal tastes. Thanks for the recipe; it was great even though I left off a layer of tortillas!

This was excellent!! My family loved it including my picky husband. It's cheesy, creamy, and full of flavor! I recommend using 3lbs of chicken breast because it makes alot of sauce. Will leave you with lots of yummy leftovers too. I just seasoned boneless breasts with southwest seasoning and salt and pepper, then cooked them in a pan with olive oil.

My family loves this, and we call it "Chicken SOMEORA" (as in, they always ask for some more!). Thanks so much for this delicious, easy recipe.

DELICIOUS! The sauce mixture looks gross initially, but turns out delicious! Everyone had thirds!! Will definitely make this again!

This was good. I have made it twice now. The first time I used pre-cooked rotisserie chickens from the grocery store and I made one and a half batches. One batch was a 9x13 pan and the other an 8x8. There was enough sauce for both, but it did take about 3 full chickens for enough meat, although I was fairly generous. The second time I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. It's pretty versatile and I will try ground beef next. Both times I used a little extra milk so the sauce wasn't so thick.

I made this for a group of friends, one of which did not like chicken and even she liked it! A wonderful recipe to try out and easy to make.

Excellent recipe. I used 6 boneless chicken breasts and shredded them instead. I also upped the cumin and garlic powder to 1 tsp. Next time I will also season the chicken and add some sauce to the bottom layer.

I thought this was pretty good. The kids just stared at it wouldn't even try it. Fortunatly for me that meant leftovers for lunch. Followed recipe as stated.

This chicken was excellent. The prep time took more like an hour though. I only changed a few things. Instead of baking the chicken I grilled it up on the stove, while I was grilling it I kept cutting the ckicken up until it was thouroughly cooked and shredded. The other thing I changed was I used vegetarian chili, which had beans in it. I did it for the main reason of that I can't stand any kind of canned meat, I also figured a little beans would make it extra good. My family loved it. It also made for a lot of leftovers.

my husband loves this one. we do once a month cooking, and this freezes really well. i put together layers the night we're going to have it and bake. so easy, and the like other reviewers said, the leftovers are really good too.

Quick and easy. I would make a layer of corn tortillas on the bottom before the chicken also.

we love this easy and quick recipe. Unexpected flavor combo is a hit at our house. only change here is that i bake off the tortillas so they are crisp

very good, would make it a little less spicey for the kids next time

This was very good!

Loved it! It's not that much to look at but, boy oh boy it tastes great! I did make a couple of changes. I used fresh garlic rather than the powder and, salsa instead of the picante sauce, because the only picante sauce I could find was "hot" and I knew we wouldn't like that. Oh! Also I boiled the chicken instead of baking it. I will surely make this again!

Pretty good. Husband loved it. Kinda tasted like enchiladas.

This recipe is awesome! My husband and daughter loved it. I put mild picante sauce in it but next time I will put medium just to spice it up. A quick and easy meal that is delicious! TWO THUMBS UP!

VERY worth the cooking time. Everyone loved this, even a 12 year old! This will definitely become a family favorite. Would be perfect for a casual get-together, as well.

VERY GOOD!! I changed a few things... left out the can of chilli and mixed black beans and olives with the chickn layer. I also used three boneless skinless chicken breasts that I cooked by boiling instead of baking (deffinitely faster!). It filled my 9x13 glass pan to almost overflowing! I might try two next time, or halving the recipe. It was a BIG hit in our house though and I will be making it again soon!

I used 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked them in a skillet rather than in the oven. Also omitted the Monterey and can of cream of mushroom soup. My chili had beans, which I thought added to the casserole. I used more cumin, garlic, and chili powder, too. Other than the alterations, I thought the recipe had great flavor and was simple to put together. Good recipe for the weekdays!

My family loved this recipe. Even my picky 6 yr old cleaned his plate! I used boiled chicken breast instead of the bone in chicken, the rest I followed to a tee and it was wonderful.

I just made this and my husband is going to love it. Awesome recipe! Will surely make again!

This was a HUGE hit with my family and I will definitely be making it again. The only change I made was accidentally buying chili WITH beans, and truth be told I think it added to the recipe. Definitely a keeper!

i boiled the ckicken, everything was great.

My family complains that, I don't cook, this was a home run!

Oh my!! This was really good. Of course, I love casserolish type things. It is a little more work than my normal tacos or spaghetti but it is worth it. It makes a lot and you can definitely have company over with this recipe. I forgot the milk in the recipe but it seemed to be fine without it. My daughter who is 6 did not like it but that is pretty normal. I will give it 4 stars only because it is not a whole family favorite.

Delicious! This tastes like a chicken enchilada. My family loved it and I will make it again. It makes at least 8 servings, so next time I will cook half and freeze half for our family of 4. I used corn tortillas, Pace medium picante, and Hormell chili no beans. I also boiled the chicken which worked fine.

tasty and easy to make. i used boneless chicken breasts and it came out tender. bachelor-friendly meal.

This recipe was so good! I gave it 4 stars because I had to make a few changes because I didn't have some of the items. I used boneless chicken breast and sprinkled garlic powder while cooking in the oven for about 35 minutes. Perfect! I didn't have the picante sauce, so I used 3/4 cup of Herdez Salsa Verde and about 1/2 cup of petite diced tomatoes. I also used pepperjack cheese in place of the jack cheese. Followed the rest of the recipe and it was awesome! My family said this is a keeper!!

Changed a few things 1. 3 whole chicken breast feed 6 2. Chili beans only Came out out well. I paired it with a southwest salad kit, I also will add a layer of Fritos on top of the tortilla for a crunch texture. All in all it was great whole family loved it.

I did everything as the recipe called ... except I used a rotisserie chicken and I added a little bit more garlic powder, cumin and decided to add a 1/2 teaspoon or a bit more chili power. I love this casserole! Easy and good.

I love this stuff but decided to add about 1 and 1/2 cups cooked rice to make it go farther. I still tastes great.

Family favorite!

Not good.

Delish and my 9 year old son is still eating it! I only substitute mushroom soup for sour cream because of alergies and mozarella and Mexican cheese since I didn't have the cheese at hand. I made a full salad as a side dish.

First of all you have to be a chicken lover to eat all that chicken in one dish! We like our chicken but we used four boneless skinless chicken breasts and even that was too much. The tortilla directions were very vague and we didn't know how many to use. We ended up using too many and they were all still dry. There wasn't enough sauce because it soaked into the chicken and that didn't leave much for the tortillas. I will make this again, but I will use quite a few alterations and substitutes.

SALTY!! next time I will use low sodium soups and sub garlic salt for garlic powder. My family liked the taste and did not mind the salty factor, I will make this again with the changes...easy, easy, easy.

My husband almost ate the whole casserole in one sitting!! This is a great way to use leftover chicken and a great easy, filling, yummy weeknight dinner.

I have made this a few times, I make it with a side of rice and replace the no beans chilli with a jar of sloppy Joe sauce. It's really good, also you only really need one package of cheese and I use 3-4 boneless breasts. I plan to try it with ground porc this weekend. Highly recommend this for an easy meal!!

My in-laws have been making this for years and it's a crowd pleaser. We use flour tortillas cut into 1" strips and mild green chili instead of picante sauce. I tastes like a yummy burrito. It's easy to double or triple to feed a large group. With salad and chips and salsa you can't beat it.

I have been looking for this taste! Now I know about Sonora dishes. Awesome! This is going to be a regular meal on my list. I already had some shredded chicken in the freezer, so that was a big time saver. I cut the recipe in half and only used the can of cream of chicken soup. Slicing the tortillas into strips is a great idea. Doing this you don’t get an overwhelming amount of tortilla in each serving.

Oh wow this was bomb good! I just boiled boneless chicken breast chunked them up threw all ingredients in a big bowl stirred it up put it in casserole dish, topped with cheese!!!! Suoer easy, super good!!

took the advice of the reviewer who suggested using corn tortillas. The hubs loved it and the kid had seconds too so it's a winner.

This was ok for me but my family did not like it at all.
