How To Make spicy tex mex rice and chicken casserole
-
Step 1Gather your ingredients
-
Step 2Place the rice in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
-
Step 3Cook the chicken breast is saucepan; covering them with water. Bring to boil and cook for 20 minutes; or till done.
-
Step 4When chicken is done; remove from water, when cool enough, shred and add the seasoning, this is not a must, I like the added spice.
-
Step 5Preheat oven to 350 degree. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Step 6In a medium bowl; combine the cheeses
-
Step 7In a medium bowl; mix together soup, sour cream, onion, and salsa.
-
Step 8Layer 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.
-
Step 9Bake in preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until bubbly.
-
Step 10Let rest 20 to 30 minutes before serving, to let set up. I serve this with a dollop of sour cream and hot pepper flakes atop for more added heat; and garlic bread. Or perhaps a salad..This is a very versatile and tasty casserole! This freezes well also. I put it on a paper plate and vacuum sealed it. ENJOY!!
