Fiesta Chicken and Rice Bake
I love Pampered Chef products and recipes. They are truly at the top of their game when it comes to making life easier for the busy mom! So when I saw the Fiesta Chicken and Rice bake recipe, I had to try it! I have a deep dish baker, but you can use any baking dish for this recipe! As always, I made some of my own modifications, but it is delicious! And there were no leftovers! Which always means it was loved by everyone! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did and I would love your feedback!
Fiesta Chicken and Rice Bake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Instant Long Grain Rice
- 1 can Corn, no sauce and drained *or 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
- 2 cans Diced Tomatoes with Jalapenos
- 4 Boneless Chicken Breast, trimmed
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Cayenne Powder
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese *you can substitute pepper jack for more spice!
- 1 Sour cream, additional shredded cheese and cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place rice, corn, chicken stock, diced tomatoes and cilantro in medium rectangular baker. Stir to combine.
- Mix paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper in small bowl. Rub spice mixture on chicken breast and place on top of the rice. Cover with shredded cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes. Depending on the thickness of your chicken breast, it may take a little longer or less to cook. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees in the thickest part of the breast and juices run clear.
- Remove from oven and garnish with additional chopped cilantro, sour cream and shredded cheese if desired!
If you would prefer a pre-made seasoning combo, you can substitute a packet of taco seasoning for the paprika, garlic, black and cayenne pepper! I prefer using separate spices so I can adjust the amount according to my family’s tastes!
