• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 can (10 oz.) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained

How to Make It:

1. Lightly oil or spray your dutch oven before use.
2. Combine chicken, 1 cup cheese, both soups, mushroom soup, broth, undrained tomatoes, green chilies, chili powder and the 3/4 cup green onions in a large bowl.
3. Mix tortilla wedges into chicken mixture.
4. Spoon mixture into the prepared dutch oven.
5. Bake at 350 degrees (use about 10 coals in a ring around the bottom of the dutch oven and 20 on top) for 30 minutes or until bubbling and hot.
6. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese, bake for 5 minutes or until cheese has melted.
7. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
