How To Make cathys cheesy salsa chicken and rice

Step 1In a large enough pan put chicken thighs and water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked thru. Remove chicken from broth to cool and then cut into bite size pieces and put on the side until needed.

Step 2I cooked the rice in the broth from poaching the chicken thighs. I also added 2 Tbsp of Taco seasoning... (optional)

Step 3While the rice is cooking in a large bowl add the salsa, cream of chicken soup, rinsed beans, and cheese and mix well. Preheat oven to 350.

Step 5Cover and bake for about 30 minutes or until everything is heated thru well.
