00:10 All Recipes member Gwyneth tells us
00:12 that layers of rice, chicken breast, a creamy soup and salsa
00:17 mixture, and two kinds of cheese add up to a simply yummy salsa
00:21 chicken rice casserole.
00:23 This recipe is a family favorite because it's delicious and easily
00:26 made with ingredients found in the pantry.
00:30 Let's start by preparing the rice.
00:31 Place 1 and 1/3 cups of uncooked white rice into a saucepan
00:35 and cover with 2 and 2/3 cups of water.
00:37 Bring the rice and water to a boil over high heat.
00:43 Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes.
00:48 While the rice is cooking, we'll cook the chicken.
00:51 Place four skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
00:54 into a saucepan with enough cold water to cover the chicken.
00:57 Bring the water just to a boil, then turn the heat down low
01:11 and simmer the breasts covered for about 15 to 20 minutes
01:15 until they're fully cooked through and there is no trace of pink left.
01:19 When the chicken is cool enough to handle,
01:21 cut it into bite-sized pieces.

01:27 Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly
01:38 grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
01:40 Chop one medium-sized onion.
01:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:49 Then in one bowl, add 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
02:15 and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and mix them together.
02:18 In another bowl, combine one 10 and 3/4 ounce can
02:26 of condensed cream of chicken soup with one 10 and 3/4 ounce can
02:32 of condensed cream of mushroom soup.
02:38 Mix the onion into the soup along with 1 and 1/2 cups of mild salsa.

02:49 Now, in your prepared baking dish, layer half the rice
03:05 on the bottom of the dish.

05:04 or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
