SKILLET QUESO CHICKEN

Skillet Queso Chicken image

Categories One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

10 flour tortillas
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
24 ounces tostada queso salsa
2 lbs chicken breasts
2 (8 ounce) cans Rotel Tomatoes
1 chopped onion

Steps:

Cook chicken breast fully. Chop chicken in fine bites. Add onion and rotel tomatoes (drained) and simmer for 15 minutes.
While chicken is simmering, heat vegitable oil in seperate pan at very high temperature. Place flour tortilla in pan and cook one at a time. Brown both sides and remove to a side plate. I always place a paper towel on the plate to absorb excess oil and seperate each flour tortilla the same thereafter.
After all is cooked, place tortillas on separate plates and top with queso chicken. They eat it like a pizza. My toddler likes her tortillas shredded and queso chicken applied all over in a bowl. Easier to eat for the little ones.

QUESO CHICKEN - TRINA KRUG

Is Skillet Queso Chicken Spicy? If you follow the recipe as-is, the chicken should have a very mild kick to it. The only spice comes from the teaspoon of chili powder and the ½ cup of Rotel, which isn’t enough to be overpowering by any means. Plus, the dairy from the cheese and the heavy whipping cream balances the heat very nicely.

CRISPY CHICKEN FLAUTAS (AUTHENTIC FLAUTAS DE POLLO)
