Chicken Ole

Updated: Nov 20, 2020

A few months ago I was craving some Chicken Ole, a dish my mom made when I was young. It was a melty delicious mixture of cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and 2 different blocks of cheese. Needless to say, this is not something our family can eat now. So, I set out to make something similar. It took quite a few tries, but the whole family was very pleased with the end result. I hope you enjoy this treat a much as we do.

  • 3 teaspoons salt

  • ½ teaspoon pepper

  • 1 can tomatoes with diced green chilies (add a second can for an additional kick)
