Easy Peasy Cheesy Chicken Monterey with Knorr Rice

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Giant Eagle for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If it’s one thing I love, it’s an EASY recipe. When I find an easy and delicious recipe is when it goes into my meal rotations, and that’s exactly what I found in the Knorr Rice Cheesy Chicken Monterey. It’s fast, affordable and delish! The prep and cook time is only about 20 minutes – that’s what I call a quick meal!

My family loves Knorr Rice as a side – in fact, I usually have to make at least 2 bags of rice, if not 3 at dinner time. So when I served them a main dish with Knorr Rice I knew it was going to be a hit.  I added a bit of pepper to mine and my husband’s to kick it up a knotch, but the kids don’t really like the extra spice. It’s easy to add (or leave out) whatever to appease your families palate.
