How to make it

  • 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

  • 2

    In a large skillet, sauté the chicken with 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat for 5 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

  • 3

    In the same skillet, sauté the rice and vermicelli mixture in the remaining tbsp of vegetable oil, until golden brown.

  • 4

    Stir in 2 ½ cups water, and seasoning packet. Bring to a boil.

  • 5

    Cover. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.

  • 6

    While rice is cooking, chop onions. Add 1/2 cup sour cream, green chiles and chopped onion to the mixing bowl containing the cooked chicken. Mix to blend.

  • 7

    Add cooked Rice-A-Roni® to the chicken mixture and mix well.

  • 8

    In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour and chili powder. Stir in shredded cheese.

  • 9

    Place chicken and rice mixture in a round two-quart greased glass casserole dish. Pour the cheese and egg mixture evenly over the top of the chicken and rice.

  • 10

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes uncovered, or until topping is puffed, crisp, and nicely browned.
