Mexi Cheesy Rice and Chicken Skillet

I love a casserole !

In fact, I love anything that is easy to make, is filling,

and my family will eat.

So when I can create a casserole that becomes a hit, especially with

the Grandloves – well, that recipe becomes a keeper!

Or, in this case – it’s a “Winner! Winner! Rice and Chicken Dinner!”

😀

Best of all, its quick ‘n easy and can be assembled in minutes.

I hope this becomes a fave with you, too.

 

Mexi Cheesy Rice ‘n Chicken Skillet

 

 

#ad  This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson. The opinions and recipe are all mine.

I am an advocate for homecooked meals.

Especially on the weekends when the grandchildren are here.

Eating at the table is a must.

Saying grace before dinner is a must.

No distractions.  No phones.  No TV.

Just me and Grandpa and our favorite, three little ones

who are allowed to talk until their heart is content about what they love,

what they think and feel – and what makes them happy.

There is one condition.

They have to eat!  🙂

This dish is one of their faves and one they ask for frequently.

Chicken Tenders, Rice, Cheese and topped with crushed Doritos.

I start with a large pot of my Homemade Mexican Rice.

(see recipe below)

Next, add a bag of thawed Walmart’s  Tyson Chicken Nuggets to a ziplock baggie,

and add 3 Tbs of Taco Seasoning Mix.  Shake well until the nuggets are coated. 

Layer a skillet with half of the tenders. 

Top the nuggets with a layer of the rice, about half of the mixture.

Then, sprinkle a layer of cheese, chopped green onions and

fresh, chopped cilantro.

Then, repeat with a second layer.

Finally, sprinkle on some crushed tortillas, fritos or Doritos. 

Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes until 

the cheese is bubbly.

I love to use Tyson A+ products in my recipes.  

Not only are they convenient and perfect for busy Moms (and Grammy’s),

but the kids love their taste.

They have 100% natural ingredients, offer simple preparation.

Crispy on the outside and juice on the inside makes these nuggets a perfect 

choice for this recipe.

 

Best of all, these products and more are

part of Tyson’s A+ Program.

how you can help your school. 

This is a PERFECT Back-to-School Recipe.

In fact, I buy the 2 lb Bag and fix two skillets, one which can be

frozen and heated later.  Because to be honest,

between after-school activities and homework – this Grammy is

plum tuckered out at the end of the day.

 

(Yes, this is how they take EVERY picture. 😀 )

 

I hope you love this recipe!
