Yummy! I’m wondering if you can eat it like a dip with chips? That sounds so delicious!

YUM! This looks so good and easy too!
Rotel what?
Hi Sharon! You can find the can of Rotel at the grocery store it is called Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies!
Do you think I could use canned chicken or an already cooked rotisserie chicken to make the meal even faster if I needed to? Thanks.
Loved this dish! Next time I will use less rice and add a cup of sour cream. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe
