Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside (an 11-inch x 7-inch dish works well, or a medium oval dish would also be fine).
  2. In a large bowl, stir together chicken, rice, drained corn, diced tomatoes (not drained), chilies (not drained), taco sauce, and HALF of the cheese.
  3. Place chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining cheese and bake, uncovered, for about 20 minutes (or until cheese is melted and dish is heated through).
  4. Garnish with optional toppings and serve!

Notes

  • You can substitute brown rice for white rice or quinoa
  • Use rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken to speed things up
  • This casserole can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer
