Cheesy Salsa Chicken Rice Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cups uncooked white rice
  • 2 2/3 cups water
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups mild salsa
Instructions
1
Begin by combining rice and water in a cooking vessel, then heat it until boiling point is reached. Next, lower the heat to a minimal level, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
2
During this time, prepare chicken breast halves by placing them in a large cooking container filled with water. Bring the mixture to a boil, and continue cooking for 20 minutes or until it is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the water once it has cooled enough to handle.
3
Subsequently, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a rectangular baking dish measuring 9x13 inches.
4
In a separate container, blend together Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses. In another bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, onion, and salsa.
5
Now, layer 1/2 of the rice, 1/2 of the cooked chicken, 1/2 of the soup and salsa mixture, and 1/2 of the cheese mixture in the prepared baking dish. Repeat this sequence, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
6
Finally, bake the assembled dish in your preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes or until it is bubbly.
