How to Make Arroz Con Pollo With Salsa Verde Rice And Chicken Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups cooked long-grain rice, 1 cup salsa verde, ½ cup chopped cilantro, ¼ cup chopped onion, and the cooked chicken.
  4. Transfer the chicken and rice mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon cumin. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chicken and rice.
  6. Top with 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
