Tortilla Chip Chicken

Tortilla Chip Chicken is one of my husbands favorite recipes for dinner.  There is an ongoing disagreement at our house as to whether to call the evening meal dinner or supper.  I have always called it dinner.  His argument is that Jesus had a last “supper” not a last “dinner”.  What do you call it at your house? Whatever you call it, this chicken makes a great addition to that meal!

Notes

1. I use plain tortilla chips but flavored Dorito chips would work as well. I also use mozzarella cheese due to food sensitivities but any other type of shredded cheese would also be good.
