Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) package instant rice
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can water
⅔ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
12 corn tortilla chips, crumbled, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a casserole dish. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine Mexican-style tomatoes, rice, celery soup, and chicken soup in a bowl. Pour mixture over the chicken breasts. Cover casserole with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
