Fiesta Chicken Casserole

This is a popular recipe in our family!  As Aaron pointed out - it has 2 of his favorite foods - rice and tortilla chips.  Even my little wannabe vegetarian gobbled this up, completely unaware that he was eating chicken!  This recipe has lots of flavor and is super quick to throw together.

Fiesta Chicken Casserole
From Plain Chicken

3 cups cooked chopped chicken
1 cup instant rice (uncooked)
1 can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and chiles, undrained
1 tablespoon Southwestern or Taco seasoning (I just throw in a bunch of seasonings, no mix)
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips

Combine chicken, rice, soup, Rotel, seasoning, milk and 1 1/2 cups of cheese.  Pour into a lightly greased square baking pan.  Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.  Top casserole with crushed chips and remaining cheese, bake uncovered for 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
