It reminded me of times whilst i used to be little and my mother might spend the whole day playing Nintendo with me.  we'd scrounge up trade to head purchase McDonald’s hamburgers.  the ones were awesome recollections.  He needs recollections like that.

The truth is, i have the relaxation of my existence to work.  however my days with him are painfully numbered.  a few days you simply should play.  So I did.  We did.

Cheesy Salsa Chicken And Rice

I’m so excited to percentage this amazingly easy recipe with y’all today.  it is considered one of my favorites and it definitely couldn’t be an awful lot less complicated.  You actually simply dump it all in a casserole dish, cover it with foil and bake.  And the flavor is exceptional!  Like, seriously.

I'm able to’t wait for you to attempt it.  The flavors of the yellow rice combined with the salsa are simply best.  And since it’s all in one dish, prep is excellent clean, and clean-up is a cinch.  I just understand y’all will find it irresistible.

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 lbs)
• 1 (10-ounce) package yellow rice mix
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt
• pepper
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F and lightly spray a 13x9-inhch baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Place the chicken breast in the dish and pour the rice mix around them. Pour the water over the rice. Season the chicken with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the salsa over the chicken.
3. Tightly wrap the baking dish with foil and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken juices run clear (about 165°F when tested with a meat thermometer).
4. Remove from the oven and remove the foil. Top with the cheese and return to the warm oven just long enough to melt the cheese.
