Ingredients: |
Ingredients: I always start with 2 of everything, but it is easy to adjust depending on how much or how little you need.
2 cans of Sweet Corn
2 Jars of Salsa (mild) (if you don't like the chunky veggies you can use picante sauce)
2 boxes Chicken broth
2 medium-sized boxes Instant White Rice
Cheese... Cheese... And More Cheese ( Any kind of Cheese you want and as much as you want)
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast or Tenderloins (There is no certain amount of chicken it just depends if you like a lot or a little chicken in a meal)

Directions: |
Directions:I hate cutting raw chicken, so I take the pieces of chicken and boil them first!
Once the chicken is cooked through, cut it into the sizes you prefer
Next, add the Chicken, a little oil and salt, and pepper into the pot to brown it.
Now add the cans of sweet corn ( for a bigger pot, I add both cans, for a medium size pot, I try 1 1/2 cans because once everything is added, you don't want the pot to be over full
Add the salsa (again, depending on the size of your pot, you can eyeball the amount you add)
Now add the chicken broth ( same as above, just add according to the size of your pot)
Now you bring it all to a full boil
Once the mixture is boiling, add a good amount of cheese, depending on how much you like.
Turn down to a simmer
Add the Rice (start with one box) if it cooks for a few minutes and still looks too soupy, add more rice a little at a time. You don't want it too wet or too dry.
Now add some more cheese on top the put a lid, and let it simmer until the rice is done and xheese is melted! |

Notes: My Mom, AKA Mimi Chell, has cooked this for years. I was always very picky as a child, but back then, you ate what Mama cooked, or you didn't eat. Luckily, this, among many other of my Mama's meals, turned out to be my favorite. I now cook this same meal, the very same way Mom always did, for my kids and husband. I hope you all love it as much as we all do
