This Mexican-inspired chicken casserole with rice and beans can be made with leftover chicken or chicken breasts. I usually make it the day after we have roast chicken. The recipe calls for baking, but the ingredients can also be added to a slow cooker and cooked on Low for 7 hours. We serve this with cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream, salsa, black olives, and guacamole.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, sliced
2 chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (8 ounce) package black beans, cooked and drained
½ cup uncooked white rice
2 ounces green chile peppers, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon ground cumin

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions in hot butter until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Pour chicken-onion mixture into a casserole dish. Stir in tomatoes, beans, rice, chile peppers, cilantro, and cumin until well combined.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is fully cooked and rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
