Ingredients for serving

  • 134.4 g Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast 1.2 x 4 Oz (3.9 oz)
  • 74 g Quinoa, cooked 0.4 x cup (6.5 oz)
  • 104 g Bush's Best, Black Beans 0.8 x 1/2 cup (4.6 oz)

Instructions

  • Set Oven to 375F
  • Cook quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.
  • In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add raw chicken breasts and cook for 10 minutes until the chicken breasts are completely cooked. Pull the chicken apart and place the pieces in a large bowl.
  • Add brown rice, beans, corn and homemade enchilada sauce. Mix together with a spatula. If you find the mixture to be too dry, add more sauce or some tablespoons of low sodium chicken broth. This is a personal preference.
  • Add chopped cilantro (if desired). Mix together.
  • To a large baking dish or individual baking tins, add the mixture. Top the casserole dish with the cheese or top each individual baking tin with about 1/4 cup of the cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
  • The tins can be frozen for later use. Allow the casserole to cool down nearly to room temperature, then wrap it in foil and place it in the freezer.
