Cheesy Chicken

First let me say I got the original base of this recipe from the back of a Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup can. You can find that here :

but I made it better! so here you go --->

CHEESY CHICKEN

1 can of cream of chicken soup

fill that can almost up with water

2/4 cup of uncooked quoina

1/4 cup of uncooked rice

(you can substitute all quoina or all rice but I really like the combo mentioned above. You can find quoina anywhere, even in walmart. It cooks just like rice but it has a higher protein content than rice and its a whole grain (white rice is pretty much just starch) so its much better than just rice.)

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1-2 cups frozen veggies: like corn. peas, carrots, and whatever else you want

1.5-2 lbs of boneless chicken breasts

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

You mix the first 6 ingredients in a bowl. This allows a good distribution throughout the dish of the rice and quoina so it will cook evenly. 

Then put the chicken on the bottom of the dish. I used a pampered chef deep covered baker but you can also use a regular casserole dish. Like a 11x8 inch dish or 11x7 inch works too. 

Then I put the stuff from the bowl on top

.

I kinda scrape off the stuff from the top of the chicken and then i put the veggies on top of the mixture. then put the lid on (or foil on top of the dish) and cook in the oven at 400degrees for 45 mins. Take it out of the oven, put cheese on top, and let it sit for 10 mins. Then stir it up and enjoy!!!!

If it comes out runny just put it back in for 10 mins :)
