Spicy Tex Mex Rice And Chicken Casserole image

This casserole is my alternative to a noodle casserole, as my better half is not a big noodle fan. I also get to use my homemade HOT SALSA..this is scrumptious!

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/3 c uncooked rice, i use uncle bens
2 2/3 c water
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can(s) 10 3/4 oz cream of chicken soup
1 can(s) 10 3/4 oz cream of mushroom soup, i also use golden mushroom
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
2 c monterey jack , shredded, or you can use a tex mex blend
1/2 c sour cream
1 1/2 c salsa, use any heat you want, i use my homemade hot salsa
1 onion, chopped
1 Tbsp tony chachere's creole seasoning ( optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients
  • 2. Place the rice in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
  • 3. Cook the chicken breast is saucepan; covering them with water. Bring to boil and cook for 20 minutes; or till done.
  • 4. When chicken is done; remove from water, when cool enough, shred and add the seasoning, this is not a must, I like the added spice.
  • 5. Preheat oven to 350 degree. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 6. In a medium bowl; combine the cheeses
  • 7. In a medium bowl; mix together soup, sour cream, onion, and salsa.
  • 8. 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.
  • 9. Bake in preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until bubbly.
  • 10. Let 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!!

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder or cayenne pepper. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I would also recommend using a different type of rice, such as brown rice or wild rice.
