Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes with green chilies, onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
