Ingredients

6
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1/2 cup Sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

3

Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

4

In a mixing bowl, combine the Sriracha sauce and honey. Stir well to create a marinade.

5

Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli, bell pepper, and corn to the skillet. Stir in the Sriracha-honey mixture and cooked rice, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

6

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

7

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

9

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Chef's Tips

For added crunch, top with fried onions before serving.

Troubleshooting

If the casserole is too dry, add a splash of chicken broth before baking.
If the cheese isn't melting properly, increase the baking time slightly.
For a crispier top, broil for a couple of minutes after baking.

Add a layer of cream cheese for a creamier casserole.
Incorporate different hot sauces for unique flavor profiles.
