1 pound boneless chicken breast
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can diced tomatoes with chilies
2 cups meltable cheese, shredded

Crush corn chips and place half of chips in the bottom of a square-baking pan. Grill or bake chicken until juices run clear, reserving half of chicken juices. Cut chicken into small pieces and place half in pan, on top of crushed chips.

Combine onion, cream of chicken soup, tomatoes, and reserved chicken liquid in a small bowl. Mix well to combine. Spoon half of mixture into baking pan on top of chicken. Add an additional quarter of chips to pan, then remaining chicken and remaining soup mixture. Top with remaining chips, and then add cheese.
