Chicken and Black Bean Green Enchilada Rice Bake

Picky Palate

2 cups cooked white rice

2 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breasts

One 15-ounce can mild (I used medium) green enchilada sauce

One 4- ounce can sliced black olives

One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp Cumin

One 15-ounce black beans, drained and rinsed

2 cups cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Cook rice according to package directions (or if you have a rice cooker, you're lucky like me :) ).

3. Place chicken, enchilada sauce, olives, tomatoes, sour cream, salt, pepper and cumin into a large bowl, mixing to combine. Pour cooked rice into prepared baking dish and layer beans on top of rice. Pour chicken mixture over rice and top evenly with cheddar cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until cheese is melted and rice is hot.

Makes 6-8 servings.
