Ingredients | Chicken Casserole Recipes For Boneless Chicken Breast

4 cups chicken stock

3 pounds bone-in chicken breast halves

2 cups uncooked white rice

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

1 medium green bell pepper, chopped

1 medium red bell pepper, chopped

1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

1 medium red onion, chopped

5 medium jalapeno peppers, diced, or more to taste

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 (8 ounce) jar salsa

1 (1.12 ounce) package fajita seasoning (such as McCormick®)

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

1 (1 pound) package shredded Mexican cheese blend

1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

1 cup tortilla strips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Bring stock to a boil in a large pot. Add chicken breasts and cook until very tender, no longer pink in the centers, and juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate, keeping stock in the pot. Remove and discard bones, fat, and skin. Chop meat and set aside.

Add rice to the stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and stock has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers, and garlic; saute until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.

Combine chicken, rice, vegetables, black beans, salsa, fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a large casserole dish and top with cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes; serve with sour cream and tortilla strips on top.

You can fry your own tortilla strips using 8-inch corn tortillas. I've tried many different brands of store-bought corn chips and the family agrees the homemade ones "rule!"
