King Ranch chicken is a Tex-Mex casserole from Texas made with shredded chicken, canned soup, canned tomatoes with chiles, cheese, and tortillas. The dish takes its name from the King Ranch, one of the largest ranches in the United States, though its own source notes the recipe's actual origin is unknown and it has no documented connection to the ranch itself. It is thought to have emerged after World War II, when canned-food casseroles became a popular trend, and it shares similarities with chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican dish built from comparable ingredients.
