Ingredients

• 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
• 2 bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
• 2 (10.75 ounce) cans fat free condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained
• 1 (14.5 ounce) package low-fat baked tortilla chips
• 1 (6 ounce) can black olives
• 1 cup reduced fat sour cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water. Cook until meat shreds easily with a fork, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from water, and cool slightly. Remove meat and skin from bones, and shred.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and canned tomatoes and mix together.

Step 3

Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. In dish begin layering: 1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 of the soup mixture, then crumble tortilla chips on top. Repeat layers twice, ending with tortilla chips and a sprinkle of cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, until bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Top casserole with lettuce, chopped tomato, olives, a couple of dollops of sour cream and a sprinkling of chives. Serve.
