Expert Tips

Be sure to use converted rice in this recipe and not regular white rice. The acidity in the salsa and enchilada sauce prevents the non-converted rice from becoming tender.

This is a great recipe. My husband and I both loved it. I've read other reviews mentioning placing corn into the recipe and believe I may try it the next time that I make again.

This also works as a freezer meal. We use boneless skinless chicken tenders and add frozen corn for a complete meal.

I used boneless chicken breasts (cut up) and also added a can of whole kernel corn. Cooked about 45 minutes covered at 350 and then uncovered at 375 for about 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle cheese. Kids loved it! Made it again recently without the chicken. Leftovers were great.
