Cheesy Chicken and Rice Bake

#14 Cheesy Chicken and Rice Bake


You'll need:
2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast
4 cups cooked brown rice
3/4 cup frozen corn
15 oz, fluid can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 cup plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)
4 oz, fluid can green chilis
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese (plus some more for toppings)
2 tbs fresh cilantro (for garnish)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except cilantro and mix thoroughly to combine. Make sure the yogurt and cheese are stirred in throughout the entire bowl. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

2. Transfer to an oven-safe dish and top with extra cheese if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

*** To make this process easier, I always have cooked chicken on hand and use Uncle Ben's Ready Rice. If you have those two things, this can me thrown together in a matter of minutes! It can be easily made ahead of time and reheated too.
