Steps:
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the marinade and pour the rest into the bag, covering the chicken.
- Press all the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Marinate for at least an hour (best if overnight in the refrigerator).
- While chicken is marinating, prepare Mexican rice. See recipe link in notes.
- When chicken is finished marinating, remove from bag and discard marinade.
- Grill chicken, brushing on a little remaining marinade (the 1/2 cup that was set aside earlier) every few minutes, until done and internal temp reaches 165-degrees F.
- Heat queso/nacho cheese sauce according to directions on jar.
- Place each chicken breast on about 1/2 cup of rice, top with queso, tomatoes, and cilantro.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread rice into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup Cheddar cheese over the rice; season with black pepper and salt. Arrange chicken breast halves evenly atop the rice and cheese layers. Dot chicken breasts evenly with rounded teaspoons of cream of chicken soup. Pour 3 cups water over the chicken and finish by sprinkling onion soup mix evenly over everything.
- Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Check rice for doneness; if water is already completely absorbed, add 1/2 cup more water to keep mixture moist. Continue baking until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over the dish.

CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE
This recipe originally came from Homemade Gourmet and called for Spanish rice prepared on the side. I got lazy and decided to experiment with the rice. The result: a delicious one dish crock-pot meal that was effortless to prepare! The rice was moist, well cooked, and amazingly cheesy. The chicken also turned out perfectly tender.

- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces, for about 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Once the chicken is no longer pink, remove from pan and place the chicken plus the juices on a plate. Cover.
- Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the rice, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Stir in the chicken broth, tomatoes (with their juices), and green chilies. Bring to a simmer and return the chicken to the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to LOW to allow the rice to cook low and slow. Cover with a lid and cook for at least 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and softened. The rice should have absorbed a lot of the liquid.
- Stir in Mexican cheese and fresh cilantro. Top with pickled jalapenos and more cheese, if so desired.
