Recipe Summary Carol's King Ranch Casserole

Layers of boiled chicken, a creamy soup mixture with red bell pepper, diced tomatoes and green chile peppers and flour tortillas are covered with shredded cheese and baked. Tex-Mex at its best! There are several versions of this, but this is my own rendition. One of my family's favorite meals.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1 tablespoon chicken bouillon

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup chopped onion
