CHICKEN, RICE AND SALSA CASSEROLE



CHICKEN, RICE AND SALSA CASSEROLE image

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp flour
1 C. milk
Cooked chicken, cut into small cubes
Cooked rice
Salsa
Sour cream
Grated cheese
Toasted bread crumbs or crushed corn chips

Steps:

  • Make a light white sauce: Melt butter in small pan. Add flour, mixing well, and let cook for three minutes or so, making sure it doesn't brown. Slowly add milk, mixing well, until sauce forms. Cook sauce for maybe five minutes to thicken. Add salsa to sauce -- maybe half to two-thirds cup. Add about a cup and a half of rice, about a cup of chicken and about two tablespoons sour cream to sauce. Add more of the above as necessary to achieve creamy casserole texture. (You can add corn or other vegetables, as well.) Pour into casserole dish. Top with grated cheese and crumbs. Bake at 350 until bubbly. Serve with more salsa for topping at table.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. If possible, use organic or free-range chicken, fresh vegetables, and homemade salsa.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a lean meat and can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 165 degrees Fahrenheit internal temperature.
  • Use a flavorful salsa: The salsa is a key ingredient in this casserole, so make sure to use one that you enjoy the taste of. If you like spicy food, use a hot salsa. If you prefer a milder flavor, use a mild or medium salsa.
  • Add some cheese: Cheese is a great way to add flavor and richness to this casserole. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese are popular choices.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: This casserole is done baking when it is bubbly around the edges and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Chicken rice and salsa casserole is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
