Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
3 pinches salt
3 pinches ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups uncooked white rice
3 (10 ounce) packages frozen sweet corn
1 ½ (9 ounce) cans mild Cheddar cheese dip
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste
1 tablespoon bacon bits, or to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces in the hot oil until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • At the same time, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add corn, cover, and steam until halfway tender but still crunchy, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Mix chicken, rice, corn, mild Cheddar cheese dip, cream of mushroom soup, chives, and bacon bits together in a medium to large bowl. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil casserole until cheese has a golden look, about 2 minutes more. Let casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chilies: Poblano chilies are a good choice for this recipe because they are mild in flavor and have a good size. You can also use Anaheim or bell peppers if you prefer.
  • Roast the chilies before stuffing them: Roasting the chilies will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses will give the stuffing a more complex flavor. You can use cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or any other type of cheese that you like.
  • Don't overstuff the chilies: The chilies should be stuffed tightly, but not so tightly that they burst open. If you overstuff them, the stuffing will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the chilies until the cheese is melted and bubbly: The chilies should be baked for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can also broil them for a few minutes at the end to get a nice golden brown color.

Conclusion:

Cheesy chicken and corn stuffed chilies are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that your whole family will love.
