Mexican Chicken Rice Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the chicken green pepper and onion in oil until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the corn, broth, salsa, salt, chili powder if desired and pepper; bring to a boil., Stir in the rice; cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let stand for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch baking dish or 2 1/2-quart casserole with cooking spray.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning mix. Cook chicken in oil 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Depending on thickness of chicken, it may not be cooked all the way through at this point but will finish baking in the oven.
• In large bowl, stir together salsa con queso, half-and-half and chopped green chiles; stir in bell pepper. Reserve 1 cup of the sauce mixture. Stir rice into remaining sauce mixture.
• Place rice mixture in casserole; top with chicken. Top with reserved sauce mixture, then shredded cheese. Cover with foil.
• Bake 20 minutes; uncover and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until sauce bubbles and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).
• Cool 10 minutes. Garnish with tomatoes and cilantro.

Steps:

• preheat oven 350 degrees. cook rice according to package directions, sautee onions and bell pepper in oil for 10 minutes In large bowl combine black beans, 1 1/2 cup Cheese, Rotel, Chicken, Bell Pepper/Onion Mixture, and yellow rice. Spoon into 13x9 dish sprinkle the rest of cheese on top, bake covered for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large dutch oven and add the garlic and onions. Cook, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice. Stir constantly, making sure the rice doesn't burn. Cook over low heat, about 3 minutes.
• Next, add the whole tomatoes, diced tomatoes, cumin, salt, pepper, cayenne and turmeric. Stir to combine and let cook, about 2 minutes. Finally, add the chicken broth and stir the mixture together. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer until the rice is not quite done, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Top with the cheese, and then bake with the lid off until the cheese is melted and the rice fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Serve with chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• 1. Place rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and turn to simmer for 20 minutes or until all water is absorbed.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Spray a 9x9 pan with cooking spray.
• 3. After grating cheese, toss the two together and then set aside.
• 4. When rice is done, pour into a large bowl. Sprinkle 2/3 of the cheese over the rice and stir in.
• 5. In separate bowl, whisk together the soup, Rotel, onion, salt and cumin. Add chicken to rice and pour the soup mix over top. Stir until combined well.
• 6. Pour rice mixture into the prepared 9x9 pan, sprinkle remaining cheese over top and cover with foil. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes. I usually dab off the floating grease (from the cheese) with a paper towel before putting in for that final 20 minutes. Serve.
• 7. BURRITOS: Leftovers are great made into burritos. Take 1/2 scant cup and spread down the middle of a 10" tortilla. Sprinkle in 1/8 cup of drained and rinsed black beans. I usually draw a small furrow down the rice so the beans don't roll all over while rolling. Roll, folding in sides for typical burrito shape.
• 8. NOTE: I freeze the burritos in a single layer on a parchment covered cookie sheet. When completely solid, I tuck them into a ziploc freezer bag. To reheat: Wrap in a piece of paper towel and cook for 4-5 minutes on 50% power (your microwave may differ).

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, saute onion, bell pepper and garlic until softened.
• Add in beans, tomatoes, broth, chilies, corn, rice, chili powder, salt and pepper; stir to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• In a 1-gallon plastic bag, combine flour, garlic salt and paprika; shake the bag to mix spices.
• Add in the chicken pieces and shake to coat.
• Place the chicken in a single layer on top of rice; press lightly into rice.
• Cover tightly with foil.
• Bake for 1 hour, or until the chicken if fork-tender, and the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
• Remove foil, bake an additional 15 minutes to brown chicken.

Steps:
