Mexi-Chicken Bake

Print


Ingredients:

1 Tbs vegetable oil
1 Tbs butter or margarine
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2/3 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup chopped green pepper
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 1/4 cup water
3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 txp pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
Mexican or mild cheddar cheese

Directions:

1)  In a large skillet, heat oil and  butter.  Add chicken, onions, and green pepper;  cook and stir until the chicken is browned and vegetables are tender.
2)  Stir in the remaining ingredients.
3)  Transfer to a lightly greased 1 1/2 qt. baking dish.  Cover and bake at 375 F for 55 minutes or until the rice is tender.  Remove foil; add cheese and return to oven until melted.  Serve.





** Personal changes:

I cooked the chicken first for 5 minutes THEN added the onions and green peppers and sauted them for 5 minutes only.  This keeps the vegetables crisper!

Since I am not a mushroom lover, I used Cream of Celery.  Cream of Chicken soup would also work.  To increase the heat, increase the chili powder and/or add cayenne pepper.  Enjoy!

  9. Hi Ellen, I love that you used a Mexican flavor for this dish but the ingredients were not typically mexican, and containing beans or tomatoes but were lighter in nature. I do love a white chicken chili and this reminds me a bit of that. Super yummy looking! Thanks for sharing this on the hearth and soul hop, but could you do us a favor and change the link from the hop hub to the host where you linked up because the hop hub is not running at this time. Thanks! All the best, Alex
