Ingredients
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 2 cups cooked brown rice can substitute with cooked white rice or cooked quinoa
- 1 .25 ounce can corn, drained
- 1 .5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes, NOT drained
- 1 .5 ounce can diced mild green chiles, NOT drained
- 1 cup taco sauce
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese divided
- Optional toppings: diced avocado guacamole, sour cream, halved grape tomatoes, chopped green onion, sliced olives
Instructions
- 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).
- In a large bowl, stir together chicken, rice, drained corn, diced tomatoes (not drained), chilies (not drained), taco sauce, and HALF of the cheese.
- 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).
- 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
