Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Pour the mixture into the dish, cover with foil, and bake for 35-45 minutes until rice is tender.
4. Remove from the oven, top with remaining cheese, and bake until melted.
Notes
You can use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
Add a squeeze of lime and chopped cilantro after baking for a fresh finish.
Swap cream of chicken for cream of mushroom if preferred.
