Time 1h45m

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).
  • Remove aluminum foil. Add Mexican cheese blend and tortilla chips to casserole. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.

This was the easiest Mexican dish I've ever made. And it tasted great! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious and had just the right amount of spice.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The sauce was also delicious. I would make this again, but I would use less chili powder.
