The one I found there is Tijuana Pie, and it has ground beef instead of chicken. However, I LOVE chicken green chili dishes, and make one that is an all-time, quick favorite, easiest EVER 'take to potluck dinners'. It is all canned ingredients except for the grated cheese and the chips. Goes together so quickly, and just has to bake until it's hot and cheese melts.

However many CANS of these you want to use - depends on how many you want to feed!

Chicken/Green Chili Casserole

cut green beans, drained
chopped green chilis
chunk white meat chicken
cream of mushroom soup and/or cream of chicken soup
Dorito chips
grated Colby/Monterey cheese
taco seasoning

Mix together green beans, green chilis, chicken and soup, add Doritos chips and a little taco seasoning, mix all, put in oblong baking dish and top with grated colby/monterey jack cheese Bake at 350 until hot and bubbly and cheese melts. Every time I take it somewhere, someone wants the recipe - especially when they find out how easy it is.

That sounds really good, Billie. I have a recipe that I use all the time that is similar, except it uses Fritos and doesn't have the green beans in it....

Chicken Casserole

4 to 5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 small can diced Ortega chilies
1 can cream of celery (or mushroom) soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1 pkg (8 oz. or more) mild or medium cheddar cheese
1 (9¾ oz.) bag of Fritos Corn Chips (or enough to
completely cover the bottom of casserole dish)
1 small can sliced black olives, drained (optional)

Cook chicken breasts and dice into bite
sized pieces. Mix chicken, chilies, soups
(undiluted), olives and milk in a bowl. Put chips
in bottom of a 13X9 inch baking dish, then pour
mixture evenly over chips. Top with grated
cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven for
30 to 40 minutes or until hot through and cheese is melted.

(I think this is even better warmed
up the next day. Do not add salt until
you taste the casserole. Often the Fritos
are salty enough.)

Yum...I think I know what I will be fixing for dinner tonight - or, I might try yours for a change. It sounds really good. :-)
