Queso Smothered Chicken Casserole
Ingredients
1 pound chicken breast
1 tablespoon taco seasonings
2 cups cooked rice
½ cup salsa con queso
½ cup shredded lite Mexican cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray. Add the rice and salsa con queso, mixing together. Spread evenly down across the bottom of the casserole dish.
Slice the chicken into small, bite-size pieces, about one inch by one inch.
Heat cooking spray in a pan over medium/high heat. Once heated, add the cut up chicken and season with taco seasonings. Sear the chicken on the stove until it is almost fully cooked, to about 150-160 degrees.
Add the almost cooked chicken to the top of the cheesy rice, in a single layer. Evenly sprinkle on the shredded cheese across all of the chicken. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
