Barbara lived in a cooperative while at Purdue University and this Cheesy Mexican Chicken was a mainstay at the house. All the girls in Glenwood came to dinner when this was on the menu.

This is another family pleaser in Barbara’s house. It does not hurt that this is served over rice as almost any dish that includes rice is sure to be a hit with her girls and husband.

I think the taco seasoning combined with the cheese and corn chips probably helped their enthusiasm for the dish!

You can use boneless chicken breasts or thighs depending on what type of chicken your family likes best.

Barbara wanted me to mention a kitchen gadget that changed her life recently – the Microwave Rice Cooker.

She couldn’t make rice correctly no matter how hard she tried. Once she got her microwave rice cooker, her rice comes out perfectly cooked every time. It is definitely worth buying and the cabinet space.

  1. This was so easy and so tasty! I used Mexican cheese instead of cheddar and cooked mine an extra 10 minutes because after 30 minutes it still looked pink inside. I’ll definitely make this again!
