2 cloves Garlic, minced
30 oz. Tomatoes, diced (canned or fresh)
1 T. Oregano
1/2 t. Chili powder
1/4 t. Salt
1 1/2 pound Chicken breast (cutting up before baking makes serving kids easier)
1 c. Ranch Dressing (or just drizzle over until your heart is content!)
1 1/2 c. Colby Jack Cheese

*Deep dish, 8x8 pan

  1. Made tonight with 4 oz. Can diced chili’s (instead of Serrano); drizzle with Avacado Ranch; and used precooked chicken. Heat up covered at 350 for 30 minutes, until right if made ahead/refrigerated! So good!
