“No chopping, no fuss, just a delicious dump dinner.” ~ Pillsbury
All you need to make this great casserole – boneless, skinless chicken breasts, long-grain white rice (I used basmati), black beans, chili powder, chicken broth, red enchilada sauce and shredded cheddar cheese.
When chicken is ready, remove from oven. Remove chicken from casserole and place on plate (cover to keep warm), stir rice and beans until mixed well, then place chicken back and top with cheddar cheese. Place casserole back in oven uncovered and bake until cheese is completely melted – remove and serve with sour cream, hot sauce and your favorite Southwest/Mexican toppings. Enjoy!

My husband does a lot of the cooking these days because I work full time and he is retired. I showed him this recipe for a dinner idea. He plans on making it but not because of the Pillsbury site’s pictures. He said that if he had seen those first, he would have nixed it. He insisted I comment so that you would know that he felt your version looks so much more appetizing. He will make it this week!
