Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 2 cups instant rice
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (15.25 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (15.25 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (10 oz)  ROTEL (diced tomatoes & green chilies)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp  taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Stir in the chicken broth until smooth.
  • Combine ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, instant rice, ROTEL, corn, and black beans to the bowl. Mix everything until well combined.
  • Assemble the casserole: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and cooked through.
  • Serve & enjoy: Let it cool slightly before serving. Add your favorite toppings like chopped cilantro, crushed tortilla chips, or an extra dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • Chicken Substitute: You can use about 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or a whole rotisserie chicken.
  • Rice Options: If you prefer, you can substitute cooked rice instead of instant rice. Reduce the chicken broth slightly if using pre-cooked rice.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, add a few extra minutes to the cook time.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
