Kitchen Kouture King Ranch Chicken

This is my version of King Ranch Casserole. Sometimes I serve it over mexican rice, but is also good by itself. I am obsessed with saving money. This recipe is used for my second cookbook in a series of Easy & Frugal recipes by Kitchen Kouture. http://www.food.com/cookbook/kitchen-kouture-quick-easy-chicken-576625.
