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.

INGREDIENTS

1 package Knorr® Rice Sides™ – Chicken flavor

1 can (11 oz.) corn, drained

1 can (11 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (4 oz.) green chilies, undrained

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

DIRECTIONS

Prepare Knorr® Rice Sides™ – Chicken flavor according to package directions. Stir in corn, beans and chilies.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken, stirring frequently, until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 4 minutes.

Arrange Rice mixture on serving platter, then top with chicken and cheese.

Tip: Leftovers? For a great next day lunch, make Cheesy Chicken Monterey Burritos by wrapping the recipe in tortillas. Cost per recipe*: $11.28 Cost per serving*: $2.82 *Based on average retail prices at national supermarkets.

I love Chicken Monterey! I bet using Knorr rice would make it faster and easier to make.

I used to eat Knorr sides all the time in grad school. Add some chicken or veggies to one packet, and it's a cheap meal for one!

This reminds me a similar meal made by Lean Cuisine. I always wanted to be able to make it at home because it is so delicious but buying this meals can get expensive. Thanks for the dupe recipe!

We buy a lot of the different Knorr rice flavors for dinners here. I haven't tried adding a pack to a main dish. This looks delicious though!
