Cheesy Salsa Chicken and Rice Bake

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 1 jar (14.5-oz.) Prego Homestyle Alfredo
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 1/4 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1.25-lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

 Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the Alfredo, salsa, rice, red bell pepper and onions (or whatever veggies you have on hand). Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
Top the Alfredo rice mixture with the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the chili powder and salt (if desired). Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake at 374 degrees for 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
After removing the baking dish from the oven, uncover and sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over top. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh cilantro (optional) and serve.
