Recipe: Cheesy Rotel Chicken Casserole

This is the easiest meal I’ve made in a long time and it is super delicious!  I found this recipe on Pinterest and didn’t deviate away from the instructions like I sometimes do.

 

Ingredients:

  • 8 pieces of chicken tenderloins
  • 4 tablespoons of Velveeta cheese (they make packages of 4 oz cheese now; comes in a pack of 3)
  • 2/3 cup of plain yogurt
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2/3 cup cooked rice (I used Mexican rice)
  • 1 can (15 oz) Beans (I did not use this)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (I used pepper jack)
  • Fritos, for garnish (I skipped)

Cooking Instructions:

  • Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray, then line the dish with the raw chicken tenderloins.  Melt the Velveeta cheese in a microwave safe bowl.  Mix in the yogurt, Rotel, and chili powder.
  • Stir in the beans and rice.  Pour the mixture over the chicken, top with cheese, and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
  • Top with Fritos and serve with a salad.  (I served with a salad but did not top with Fritos.)
