Last week I found this recipe on Pinterest for Cheesy Chicken Rice Bake which I have dubbed, Mexican Chicken Casserole. Please do yourself a favor and try this recipe! It was super easy to throw together and so, so tasty! All four of us really liked it. The flavors were amazing. I followed the recipe pretty closely and it made a huge amount. I could have cut it in half to feed my family of four and still had left overs; so this is perfect to feed quite a few people. Additionally, it would be really good as a dip for a party. I believe this will be coming with me to a football party this season!
As for the recipe, I made the chicken and rice on Sunday so that I could easily throw this together after work one day. I added everything the recipe called for and I included olives bc they just sounded like a good addition to all the ingredients! While the rice helps the dish go longer by increasing the volume, I would say you could get away with a lot less. Next time I will probably only add 3 cups or less. And I will add more salsa and probably an extra can of green chiles. The flavors were amazing but the spice was lost on all of those ingredients. It didn't have any zing to it. So a little extra spice of some kind would be preferable. Otherwise...wow! Really, wow! I thought this was SO GOOD!
See...it's really "ricey"!
