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 & 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!

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.

CROCK-POT CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE



Crock-Pot Cheesy Mexican Chicken and Rice image

A delicious combination of cheese, chicken, salsa and rice. I created this recipe when I needed to make dinner in the crockpot because my husband was redoing the floors in the kitchen and I had no stove to use. Thanks to him a new chicken recipe was born. I use my homemade canned salsa but any salsa will do. Also, we mostly eat chicken breast, but you can use any type of chicken. The cooking time will need adjusted longer for dark meat or chicken on the bone. There are several variations for this recipe such as adding beans, corn, mushrooms, etc. The possibilities are endless.

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.
