How to Make Chicken Fajita Rice-A-Roni Casserole This casserole is very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients.
Start with preparing a box of Spanish Rice-A-Roni according to the package directions, using a can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles. While the rice is cooking, in a large bowl, stir together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, chopped chicken, chopped onion, and chopped bell peppers. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake until bubbly. Frequently Asked Questions I use rotisserie chicken for the cooked chopped chicken in this recipe.
You can use any cooked chicken you have on hand. Chicken breasts, chicken tenderloins, or boneless skinless chicken thighs all work fine. I used a box of Spanish Rice-A-Roni in this recipe. I tried the casserole with Mexican Rice-A-Roni and we did not like it. It has too much orzo in the mix and not enough rice to hold up in the casserole. Can substitute taco seasoning for fajita seasoning.
