Amber's Cheesy Chicken & Rice Bake

I too found this recipe on pinterest.  I have tried this before and the family really did like it.  I made two small ones...one for them and one for me.  I made theirs with regular rice and mine with quinoa because I had no brown rice.  I thought this was pretty good though.  It was quick and quite easy.  I left the picture on because I am a visual person and like to see what it could look like.  :)

Happy Eating!

Recipe Description

A quick, easy and healthy casserole to throw together when you’re pressed for time!

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for cilantro and mix thoroughly to combine. Make sure the yogurt and cheese are stirred in throughout the entire bowl. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer to an oven-safe dish and top with extra cheese if you would like. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
To make this process easier, I always have cooked chicken on hand, and use Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice. If you have those two things, this can be throw together in a matter of minutes! It can also easily be made ahead of time and reheated.
