Cheesy Chicken Casserole

You guys, this is my first week home as a SAHM. And that means more meals at home, WAY more meals. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I cooked dinner in the month of October, well unless you count boxed mac ‘n cheese. (I do.) Part of the budget that changes up with me leaving my full-time job is that we are (going to try) not to spend as much money eating out. So… you’ll find me in the kitchen trying lots of simple recipes most nights from here on out.

If you know me, you know these things are true:

1| I’m a picky eater.
2| I don’t cook unless it’s simple.
3| I LOVE CHEESE.

I am fairly certain 95% of the dishes I create use cheese as a main ingredient. Cheese is something our entire family can agree on. I love shredding my own – you can’t beat the taste of freshly shredded cheese. Jason & I love chicken enchiladas, and Blaire loves chicken and rice, but isn’t a fan of tortillas. So I decided to make this simple, cheesy chicken enchilada & rice casserole. It’s simple and cooks quickly. You can eat it with tortilla chips for extra flavor. My family loves it and I know yours will, too!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Block of Crystal Farms Cheese® Marble Jack Cheese
  • 1 Block of Crystal Farms Cheese® Pepper Jack Cheese
  • 1 Large can of Enchilada Sauce – 19oz
  • 2 Cups of Rice

Directions:

1| Cook the rice according to the directions on the package. This will take about 20 mins.

2| Cook the chicken. This will take about 10 mins. I used this method to cook my chicken.

3| While your rice & chicken are cooking, shred your cheese.

4| Once your chicken is cooked, shred it. I used my stand mixer because it’s SO easy and quick.

5| Once it’s shredded, add the enchilada sauce to it and mix. Then add half of your shredded cheese to the chicken and mix. Then add your rice and mix.

6| Add your mixture to the casserole dish and top with the remainder of your shredded cheese.

7| Cook for 25 minutes at 350°F.

8| Let cool & enjoy!

The perfect way to spend a few hours on a 95° day! Was just scrolling through stories, saw someone say it had a “lesbian narrative” and laughed out loud. Have you seen it? I apparently missed all of the controversy surrounding the movie, which means I’ve done a great job of filtering out my feed of people who don’t approve of GaYnEsS. 👋🏻👋🏻

Happy Father’s Day JP! He’s the one who supports our family, the doer of the dishes, the planner of the trips, the parent who makes sure the kids brush their teeth, and the one who will happily jumps into the cold, highly-chlorinated water of hotel pools to make these three happy. I had no idea how challenging parenthood would be. I am so lucky I chose a partner who is so positive and outgoing (the opposite of me 🫠) to raise a family with. ❤️
