.cheesy chicken & rice bake.

This recipe is beyond yum enjoyable for all. I found this recipe on my love Pinterest. The original recipe is from Tasty Kitchen. SO not only did I find a wonderful recipe on Pinterest but I also found another lovely website to go to for even more tasty ideas. I made this meal twice in one week, yes it was that good. The second time was for a potluck at work and it sure was a crowd pleaser. Try it out for yourself and enjoy!



Ingredients
2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
4 cups Cooked Brown Rice (i used half brown and half white..im not able to 100% commit to brown yet)
¾ cups Frozen Corn
15 ounces, fluid Can Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (or Sour Cream) ~i used sour cream
4 ounces, fluid Can Green Chilis
½ cups Salsa
1 cup Low-fat Cheddar Cheese, Plus More For Topping ( I used a mexican cheese blend)
2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro For Garnish

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for cilantro and mix thoroughly to combine. Make sure the yogurt and cheese are stirred in throughout the entire bowl. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer to an oven-safe dish and top with extra cheese if you would like. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
To make this process easier, I always have cooked chicken on hand, and use Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice. If you have those two things, this can be throw together in a matter of minutes! It can also easily be made ahead of time and reheated.
