Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
  • 16 individual chicken thighs (we use breasts)
  • 1/4 c. butter or margarine
  • 1 c. tortilla chips, crushed
  • 2 Tbsp. onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. cooking oil
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 (14 oz.) can evaporated milk
  • 1 c. (4 oz.) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • leaf lettuce

Method

  • Combine the 1/4 cup flour and the taco seasoning mix in a paper or plastic bag. Add 2 or 3 chicken pieces at a time and shake to coat. Melt butter or margarine in a 15 x 10 x 2 baking pan. Place chicken in pan, turning once to butter surfaces. Roll in crushed chips and return to baking pan. Bake at 375° for 45 to 50 minutes. Meanwhile, cook onion in oil until tender but not brown. Blend in the 2 tablespoons flour and the salt. Add evaporated milk. Cook and stir until mixture thickens and bubbles. Add cheese and lemon juice, stirring until cheese melts. DO NOT BOIL.
