EASY CHICKEN & RICE WRAPS BY RICE-A-RONI RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Easy Chicken & Rice Wraps by Rice-A-Roni Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by pmhare

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (6.8-ounce) package RICE-A-RONI® Spanish Rice
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
16 ounces salsa**
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 cup canned black or red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen or canned corn, drained
8 (6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
Shredded Cheddar cheese and sour cream, (optional)
Or, use 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes or 1 (14-1/2-ounce) can tomatoes, undrained and chopped, if desired.

Steps:

  • 1. In large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté rice-vermicelli mix with margarine until vermicelli is golden brown. 2. Slowly stir in 2 cups water, salsa, chicken and Special Seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink inside. 3. Stir in beans and corn; let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve in tortillas with cheese and sour cream, if desired. Tip To warm tortillas, wrap them in aluminum foil and bake in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and keep them in the oven until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use leftover chicken. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken, making it a quick and easy meal.
  • Shred the chicken. Shredding the chicken will help it to absorb the marinade and flavors from the other ingredients more easily.
  • Make the marinade ahead of time. The marinade can be made up to 24 hours in advance, which will give the chicken more time to absorb the flavors.
  • Use a nonstick skillet. A nonstick skillet will prevent the chicken and rice from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken and rice over medium heat. Cooking the chicken and rice over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Add the cheese and salsa at the end. Adding the cheese and salsa at the end will help to prevent them from melting or burning.
  • Serve the wraps immediately. The wraps are best served immediately after they are made, while the chicken and rice are still hot and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

These 15-Minute Mexican Chicken Rice Wraps are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights.
