Green Chili, Cheese, Chicken & Rice Casserole

We all love one pot dishes. And this casserole fits that category. Especially if you use rotisserie chicken. It is so easy and quick to put together. The hardest part is cooking and de-boning the chicken. You have all you need in one casserole. Add a salad or even if you want, cook some green beans and you have a wonderful meal. I hope you will try this casserole and let me know what you think. Recipe below.

Enjoy!

Um I’m going to start putting it together it’s so simple you can use a rotisserie chicken if you want you can use actually if you want to you can use canned chicken I’m going to go ahead and spray my baking dish with some non-stick spray and and I’m going to set that

Right here while we mix everything else up I have the two chicken breast now I’m going to put in one can of cream of chicken soup I’m going to get that put in and stirred together I have one can of diced green chilies this is a 4 oz

Can of diced green chilies I’m not going to drain them these are mild if you want to use hot go right ahead then I have half of a cup of mayonnaise and we’re going to put that in and I have a cup this might be just a

Little bit over a cup of cheese Che now you can use cheddar cheese this is a triple cheddar blend and we’re going to stir all of this together see it’s that simple now here in my rice cooker I have cooked my rice I need two cups so I told you this

Is going to be one of the simplest and most delicious ious casseroles that you’ve ever put together and if you buy rotisserie chicken it’s going to be even that much more simple you can buy rotisserie chicken and possibly get two meals out of it okay so we have that

Combined now what I’m going to do is in the bottom of my sprayed dish here I’m going to put two cups of this cooked rice we’re just going to spread it around you know we like rice we love rice and you know to make it even easier

You could use Minute Rice and I have seen in the grocery store where they have some already prepar paired rice that all you have to do is pop in the microwave and heat up it comes in a little container and you can get jasine rice white rice and um

Hey use that anything to make it easy now we’re going to put this mixture right on top look at there ooh now I did not put any extra salt in this because that cheese is salty the soup is salty now I think what I’m going to do

Is I think I am going to sprinkle a little bit of black pepper on the top look at there how beautiful is that can you see that how long have we been doing this and less than 5 minutes and we’ve got it put together looky

There now I I have bread crumbs now I had plain breadcrumbs and I seasoned them up with some parsley some garlic powder and some onion powder but you can buy seasoned breadcrumbs and keep them they’re delicious and so we’re going to sprinkle that right on top let’s spread it

Out and we’re going to moisten it now from that chicken that we cooked and if you use the rotisserie chicken you can use a box stock there’s nothing wrong with that I have a half a cup of chicken stock and I’m going to pour it on top of these breadcrumbs and moisten

Them and that’s it this casserole is done and it is ready to go in the oven preheated 375 30 to 35 minutes until it is golden brown on top our casserole is ready and I’m ready to take it out of the oven and
