1 (3 lb.) chicken
1 dozen tortillas

½ c. chopped onion
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 can of tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)

Directions:
Directions:
Cook chicken until tender, reserving the broth. Bone and cut into small pieces. (If you are a little lazy as we are, or if you don't particularly care for dark meat, just use boneless chicken breasts.) In a 2½ qt. casserole, place layers of chicken, tortillas cut into one inch strips, grated cheese and onion. Use ½ the ingredients. Mix the soup, tomatoes and chilies, green chilies and chicken broth and heat the mixture through. Pour ½ of the mixture over the layers in the casserole. Repeat using the remaining ingredients with the soup mixture on top. Bake at 350º for one hour.
