Low Fat Tex Mex Chicken And Rice Casserole Recipes

TEX MEX CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onions in the butter until tender (3 to 4 minutes). Stir in the rice mix, seasoning packet and uncooked white rice. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Stir in the broth and water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 20 minutes (liquid will not be fully absorbed and the mixture will appear "soupy").
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Transfer the mixture to a very large mixing bowl; stir in the chicken, tomatoes, chiles, basil, chili powder, cumin and pepper.
• Pour the mixture into a 3-quart casserole dish that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cheese, and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot. Top with guacamole and sour cream, if desired. Pass lime wedges for squeezing too!
