  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and green bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Layer the Casserole

    In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the corn tortilla strips on the bottom. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese.

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
