OK Here's my version, Member iamtexasrose

I make a version of this...I boil 3-4 chicken breast in chicken broth with a couple of carrots and two piece on celery and add 1 tbsp ""Better than bullion"" chicken flavor base (I do this in a crock pot til chicken is falling apart). In a pan, I combine 1 can cream of chicken soup,1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of rotel tomatoes with green chilis, 1 large onion( chopped with chunky large pieces), 1 lb. velvetta cheese cubed, 1 cup of chicken broth stock from my chicken, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp chili powder (to taste)..heat and stir until cheese melts. in a 9 x 13 cassrole cover with your favorite tortilla chips and the chicken cut into pieces...pour soup and cheese mixture over ..top with some shreaded cheddar if you like...bake in 350 degree oven till bubbly and set...everyone loves it..made it for years... serve with guacamole on a bed of lettuce topped w fresh chopped tomatoes.. Texas yummy!
