"This amazingly delicious casserole is an entire dinner that cooks in one dish! There’s no need to boil the rice, cook the chicken, or sauté the veggies — just dump the raw ingredients into a pan and pop it in the oven! The end result is a cheesy, flavorful, and soul-satisfying Fiesta Chicken and Rice Bake! Oh goodness, I love this dinner! It’s got everything that you want in a meal…and it’s SO EASY to throw together. That’s right — I wouldn’t even call it “prep work,” because there’s not really much prepping involved. If you’re a busy home chef who can use a few shortcuts in the kitchen, then you’re definitely in the right place. My dump-and-bake recipes make weeknight meals a breeze, and this Fiesta Chicken and Rice Bake is no exception! The uncooked rice, raw chicken, and raw veggies are combined with a thick, creamy sauce and finished with gooey, melted cheese. You’ll only have one dish to wash at the end, and your carbs, protein, and veggies are all cooked together in one recipe. Serve it with a salad on the side for fresh greens if you like, but that’s not even necessary!"

NotesCooking Just for Two? This is an easy dish to cut in half! Just use half as much rice, chicken, and other ingredients, and pick 1 can of soup to use. Prepare the casserole in a small baking dish (about 1 quart). Cooking time will remain the same.

At the end of a busy day, the last thing I want to do is a lot of prep work in the kitchen. This chicken and rice recipe is undoubtedly as no - fuss as it gets, and is easy on the grocery budget as well. If you want to kick things up a notch, you could add a drained can of diced green chiles to the mix, or substitute pepper jack cheese for the cheddar. Either way, it is sure to become a family favorite. I like to serve some refried beans on the side.
