TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Set aside a 9x13" oven-safe casserole dish and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
• In a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat, add cooking oil and once heated, add the onions. Cook until tender.
• Pour in the box of rice and vermicelli, including the seasoning packet.
• Stir for two minutes then pour in the chicken broth and water.
• Bring to a boil then bring down to a simmer and cover for 20 minutes.
• After the rice mixture has cooked for 20 minutes (note: not all the liquid will have cooked away, it finishes in the oven), add in the chicken. It's okay it doesn't cook all the way through as it finishes up in the oven.
• Remove from heat and add diced tomatoes, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir together.
• CAREFULLY pour mixture into prepared casserole dish.
• Bake for 25 minutes, covered, then uncover the casserole and sprinkle cheese on top and let it melt.
• After removing from oven, let sit for 10-15 minutes. The waiting time is crucial because the liquid will continue to absorb into the rice and the casserole will have a thicker consistency.
