CASSEROLE LOVE, CAN'T HELP IT


SALSA CHICKEN RICE CASSEROLE
  • photo & recipe via AllRecipes

  • 1 1/3 cups uncooked white rice
  • 2 2/3 cups water
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (I used a Rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups mild salsa
  • *1 can green chiles
  • *Green onions
  • *Sour cream

  • Place rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, place chicken breast halves into a large saucepan, and fill the pan with water. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes, or until done. Remove chicken from water. When cool enough to handle, cut meat into bite-size pieces.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  • In a medium bowl, combine Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses. In a separate bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, onion, and salsa (*I deleted the onion and added can of green chiles). Layer 1/2 of the rice, 1/2 of the chicken, 1/2 of the soup and salsa mixture, and 1/2 of the cheese mixture in prepared dish. Repeat layers, ending with cheese.

  • Bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until bubbly. (*I baked covered with foil for the first 20 minutes; uncovered for the last 20. Served with sour cream and sliced green onions on top.)
