I found this in a cookbook I picked up at Joann's!!! It's WONDERFUL!!!!! Thought I'd share (be sure to read ALL the directions before beginning -- especially the notes below):
Southwestern Chicken Casserole 1 tsp salt ½ tsp ground black pepper ¼ tsp garlic powder 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces ¼ cup butter or margarine 1 cup fine chopped fresh cilantro leaves (optional) 3 ½ cups fresh broccoli flowerets (I used cauliflower) 1 lbs processed cheese cut into pieces (I used combo cheddar and monterey jack) 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (see note below) 4 cups cooked rice Sour cream to serve Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly over chicken and saute in butter. Cook ten minutes. Add broccoli/cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli/cauliflower is tender and juices run clear. Remove from heat. Preheat oven to 350 deg. In small saucepan (I recommend using the microwave), combine cheese with tomatoes/green chilies. Stirring occasionally, cook over medium-low heat until cheese melts. Remove from heat. Spoon rice into a greased 2 ½ qt (see note 2 below) casserole. Spoon chicken mixture over rice and then pour cheese mixture over chicken (I mixed the two before reading the directions…works fine). Cover and bake 25-30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Serve with sour cream. Serves 6-8 Note 1: I screwed up and put in 1 can (10 oz) of the tomatoes and chilies AND a small can of chilies….heh heh heh -- it was GOOD! Note 2: I HALVED the recipe for the 2 of us, and IT filled a 2 ½ qt casserole. I recommend a 9x13 if doing the whole recipe! ENJOY |
Yummy. That sounds really good.

We always add the hot kind sort of adds a little extra punch to it.

I made this for dinner yesterday. It was fabulous. Does make a lot though. Will be making it for company in a couple of weeks.
