Ingredients

  • 1 can chicken enchilada soup
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 can black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 box frozen corn
  • 1 package boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 cup shredded Colby Monterey jack cheese blend

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F. In ungreased 2-quart glass baking dish, mix soup, water, rice, cumin, pepper, beans and corn. Top with chicken.
  2. Cover; bake about 30 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F) and rice is tender. Stir rice around chicken. Top with cheese. Bake uncovered 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tip

Slightly undercook and cool the grain first; it will absorb the sauce while baking.
