How to Make Arroz Con Pollo With Salsa Verde Rice And Chicken Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer the chicken and rice mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- 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.
- Top with 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
