Fiesta Chicken Rice Bake Recipes

DUMP-AND-BAKE FIESTA CHICKEN AND RICE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• In the prepared dish (or in a separate bowl), stir together bell pepper, onion, uncooked rice, chicken soup, celery soup, water, and uncooked chicken.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour (or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through).
• Remove cover, stir, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.
• Garnish with sliced green onion and diced red pepper just before serving.

CHEESY FIESTA CHICKEN AND RICE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Grease an oven safe dish with butter.
• Mix both soups, broth, milk, water and onion in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
• Evenly spread rice into baking dish.
• Pour soup mixture over rice as evenly as possible.
• Place chicken into pan and cover.
• Bake in oven for 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the thickest part.
• Let dish stand for 3 minutes to allow sauce to thicken. While dish is standing, top each chicken piece with shredded cheese and salsa.
• Enjoy!

FIESTA CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Add the chicken, taco seasoning, water and onion to a skillet. Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Drain any excess water.
• Add both cans of cheese soup and milk to a pot. Stir and heat until just boiling.
• Pour rice, cheese mixture, diced tomatoes and chicken mixture into a non-stick baking dish. I used diced tomatoes with jalapenos. I used one slightly smaller than 13 x 9. Add 1 cup of the taco blend and sharp cheddar cheeses and mix well. Top with remaining taco blend and sharp cheddar cheeses.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and soup mixture thickens.
• Garnish top of casserole with crushed Doritos (optional).
