Taco Chicken & King Ranch Casserole

This Taco Chicken recipe dates way back to our early years of marriage. 

No prep time? No problem!

  Taco Chicken uses frozen chicken breasts thrown in the Crockpot with water and taco seasoning.  That is IT!

  After being preggo 8 times in 8 years, I needed an easy “go to” supper that didn’t make me gag, and this one was perfect! 

  You can use this chicken in burritos, tacos, oven nachos or King Ranch Casserole.

My BFF, Kasey made this delicious Mexican Casserole for me way back in the day, when I drove across the state to visit her.  Thank the Lord she has since moved back to our hometown, and now lives literally 6 minutes from me.  🙂  

  Anyhow, the King Ranch is her recipe and we just love it.
