Salsa Chicken & Rice Casserole

This chicken salsa and rice casserole is a perfect dish to make for dinner on chilly winter nights. It features our Jake & Amos Black Bean and Corn Salsa and is incredibly delicious. It can be served as is, or as a burrito or taco filling! With a mild spiciness, you can adjust the spice level to fit your tastes.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup onion, diced

1 red pepper, diced

2 cloves garlic, diced

1 1/2 cups of Jake & Amos Black Bean and Corn Salsa

2 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 cup rice (washed, uncooked)

15-ounce can of black beans, drained

1 cup frozen corn

2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Then, lightly grease a deep casserole dish using butter.

4. Transfer skillet mixture to casserole dish; evenly spread it into the dish. Add shredded chicken to the top of the rice mixture, then top with the remaining salsa and top with cheddar cheese (you can add additional salsa and cheddar cheese at this point).
