Recipe Wednesday - King Ranch Chicken

If you're looking for a spicy chicken dish to either serve as a meal or as a heavy topping to chips for a game day look no further than this recipe.  I found it off of a blog I love, Lamberts Lately, and made it a few weeks ago for us.  The recipe I'm going to give you is a much less spicy version than Leslie's because her version was pretty much more than I could handle!  But if you want to up the spice quotient follow her directions and you'll be there.  We liked it as a meal but will probably use it as a game day dip meal in the future.
