MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE



Mexican Chicken and Rice image

On days I get home late from the hospital, I'm glad this main dish comes together easily in one skillet. Sometimes, I make it ahead in the morning and refrigerate. It's so quick to just sprinkle on the cheese and reheat it for dinner.-Cindy Gage, Blair, Nebraska

CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE



Cheesy Mexican Chicken and Rice image

This recipe originally came from Homemade Gourmet and called for Spanish rice prepared on the side. I got lazy and decided to experiment with the rice. The result: a delicious one dish crock-pot meal that was effortless to prepare! The rice was moist, well cooked, and amazingly cheesy. The chicken also turned out perfectly tender.

Time 2h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 whole chicken breasts
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
3 tablespoons taco soup seasoning
1 -2 cup instant rice
1/2-1 cup shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend

Steps:

  • In crock-pot, combine first three ingredients, add salt to taste, cover, and cook on high until chicken breasts are tender, about 2 hours.

CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN & RICE



Cheesy Mexican Chicken & Rice image

I was given this recipe by a Texan friend. It's simple, quick, and family pleasing! My father-in-law is always dropping broad hints about how much he likes it and how I should make it more often! It makes a lot and you can also freeze it (just don't add the rice). You can make it mellow as listed below or add some heat by using a can of Rotel instead of the diced tomatoes (actually, that's what the original recipe calls for) and/or adding some jalapeno. I recommend serving with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) jar Cheese Whiz
3 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
5 large chicken breasts or 10 -11 chicken tenderloins
1 large red onion
2 tablespoons oil
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
2 tomatoes
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
2 cups rice (for 4 servings, increase as needed)

Steps:

  • Dice onions and cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet, cook in the oil until the chicken is white and fully cooked.
  • Chop the bell peppers and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a large pot. Mix in the chicken, Cheese Whiz, cream of chicken soup, and salt.
  • Cook on medium-low, stirring frequently, until mixture is heated through. It's ready to eat as soon as it's hot enough, but you may want to simmer it longer if you prefer less-crunchy pepper pieces.
  • Cook the rice. I find that 2 cups of water and 2 cups of rice need about 2-1/2 minutes in my microwave, then 2 or 3 more minutes to sit and steam.
  • Serve chicken/cheese mixture over rice. You can break up tortilla chips on top or use them to scoop it up.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
2 cups rice
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, or more to taste
2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
3 cups water, or more as needed
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spread rice into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup Cheddar cheese over the rice; season with black pepper and salt. Arrange chicken breast halves evenly atop the rice and cheese layers. Dot chicken breasts evenly with rounded teaspoons of cream of chicken soup. Pour 3 cups water over the chicken and finish by sprinkling onion soup mix evenly over everything.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Check rice for doneness; if water is already completely absorbed, add 1/2 cup more water to keep mixture moist. Continue baking until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over the dish.

EASY CHEESY FAJITA CHICKEN AND RICE



Easy Cheesy Fajita Chicken and Rice image

I came up with this recipe one night while submerged in the depths of a fajita craving. I serve it over white rice with the cheese blend melted down over top. Sometimes I spice things up with a dollop of sour cream; as it melts down over the hot chicken and rice it makes the juice all creamy and delicious.
