INGREDIENTS

3 Chicken Breasts ; cooked
2 cups Rice
2 cans Enchilada Sauce ; 10 oz each
1 can Refried Beans
1 cup White Cheddar ; shredded
1 cup Monterey jack ; shredded
1 can Kernel Corn
Fresh Cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix shredded Chicken, Enchilada Sauce, Refried Beans, and about half of the Cheese. Toss in the Rice, a little salt and a little pepper, mix well.

Pour mix into large casserole dish, top with corn then the rest of the cheese.

Bake 20-30 minutes until cheese is melty and bubbly.

Garnish with Cilantro and call yourself a chef.

NOTES

Use whatever Rice cooking mantra you have (salt, sans salt, butter, whatever) just use the cooked equivalent of 2 cups uncooked. Or, honestly, whatever Rice you have left over will do, same with the Chicken. Use Friday nights leftover breast or whatever you have. The point is to just mix this crap together and bake it. Though I will say it is worth the extra effort to throw the Corn and the rest of the Cheese on top. Also regarding Cheese, if a big bag of El Cheapo Walmart Mexican Cheese is all you got, by all means use it. This isn't ultra complicated.
