Monterey Chicken Casserole

"I clipped this from an Ortega ad in a magazine. I usually cook my chicken breasts in my George Foreman grill. You could also sub those pre cooked chicken tenders if you're pressed for time."

  1. This was really easy and the family liked it. My daughter has to eat gluten-free so this was a welcome addition to our recipe collection. I didn't have the taco shells, but did have white corn tortilla chips that i crushed. Also, I didn't have instant rice, so I just made regular rice and cooked it before adding it to the casserole. It only needed to bake about 25 to 30 minutes then.
     
  2. Turned out great!! I halved it for just two of us. Will make again.
     
  3. Thanks for this recipe!!! The only change I made was that I subbed Nacho Cheese Doritos for the crumbled taco shells.
     
  4. I halved the recipe since it was just Dan and I. I also used pepperjack instead of the plain. Great flavor, easy preparation and fast cook time. All the makings of a great week night dinner. Thanks Yoop!
     
  5. This would be great to take to a potluck. I served it with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and tortillas.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
