Mexican Chicken and Rice Casserole

This is based on a Kroger recipe – They suggest putting it on taco shells, but we treat it as a casserole.  Kind of a one dish meal.  It has become one of our favorites.

 

Prep Time: 5 min
Cooking Time: 20 min

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Chicken Breast, Grilled/broiled
  • 12 oz Brown Rice (frozen)
  • 1 cup Frozen Sweet Corn
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 cups Mexican Style Cheese,finely Shredded
  • 12 oz Diced Salsa Style Tomatoes Fire Roasted In Tomato Puree
  • 16 oz Tomatillo Salsa Verde, Medium
  • 12 oz Bush’s Black Beans

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray. Drain and rinse black beans. Shred or chop the chicken breasts. Mix all ingredients except 1 cup of the shredded cheese in a large bowl. Spread evenly into baking dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, or until bubbling. Let stand 5 minutes.

Can be served in taco shells, over tortilla chips or as a casserole.  Top with sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
